The picture attached has a very simple story
with a lesson. I did walk the obstacle prior to driving over it, While driving I decided
to
change "tracks" as the ruts looked a bit deep. What I found out later is that
the muddy part was in fact a cement bridge which was covered in mud. As
I moved out of the rut I drove off the side of the bridge. Recovery required two vehicles.
One to keep me from falling over sideways & one to winch me out.

| My
LR next to the wheel marks left by the truck that I had pulled out the night before. The
truck was a Merc 2636 with a triaxle cane trailer with 20 tons of sugar cane on it. It was
my first time to pull such a weight and I am happy to say that I have done it again!

| This trailer fall over took place
close to Cwaka School, North of Empangeni. I stopped to engage diff lock in the mud but
didn't quite come to a halt and the entire combination slid into a donga at the side of
the track and over the trailer went. Fortunately the School is in the background (the
cream & brown building) and I ran down there and the principal sent a class full of
kids up to offload the trailer and push it back onto it's wheels |
