Couple of...Sorry to hear about your nightmare day!<br /><br />Couple of tips for future reference. These tend to be quite good for light surface traction problems:<br /><br />http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maypole-Wheel-Grip-Mat-4-caravan,-motorhome,-car-MPL536_W0QQitemZ280484711161QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20100328?IMSfp=TL100328227001r29859<br /><br />If you're stuck without any sort of recovery aid, turn the steering to full lock, select second gear, then let the clutch in VERY slowly. The steering lock helps by forcing the tyres to dig in on their edges and tends to push you away from the problem area as soon as you get any grip. Partially deflating your tyres will also help, by increasing the amount of tyre in contact with the ground.<br /><br />Failing that, do as I did and buy a very cheap 4x4 as your transport to the plot!UKAllotmenteerhttp://www.allotmentdiary.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-84031676568501470672010-04-02T08:13:55.293+01:002010-04-02T08:13:55.293+01:00Thanks for the sympathy - think we need it!

Once we've got somewhere to store tools etc we can leave the car on the road and walk to the plot.<br /><br />I normally take water and cereal bars but I thought I was only popping up there for 5 mins .... Good idea to keep them in the shed though.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534626082405777284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-20576687982742196672010-04-02T08:06:04.783+01:002010-04-02T08:06:04.783+01:00Oh Tracey...what a terrible day...on the bright si...Oh Tracey...what a terrible day...on the bright side I don't think it could get any worse. I feel very lucky right now that my allotment is only a 5min walk away from my houise.<br /><br />On the bright side...once the shed is up then your 3 year old will have an adventure spot to play in if something terrible like this ever happens again...a good thing to do is also keep some fresh bottles of water and cereal bars in your shed...warm water isn't great but it's better than nothing and the bars are always handy to have in.<br /><br />Hope the weather clears up so you can again get to enjoying your allotment.allotments4youhttp://www.allotments4you.comnoreply@blogger.com
