Went out along Waxall Lane from Chilfrome end, with a friend in his Disco 3. It was good until the junction that goes down to the Irish Bridge. This point was very badly washed out, and perhaps had been driven rather lot when wet, maybe by something with much bigger wheels than my LR. I did wonder if had been a tractor. Either way I got very stuck and pulled out twice. The second time a valve stem got broken off causing a flat tyre. While stuck at one point I felt something in the steering system give and now the wheels aren’t aligned anymore. Also the locking diff is stuck engaged. Other than those three minor incidents and the lack of any real distance covered, it was a ace laning session. Now I’ve got some work to do before it’s drivable again.
