That is a real run of bad luck that mud

 

I have also came off the back... and a lad i lamped with came off when i hit a rut.

 

also been stuck for hours, but the one thing that taught me was never ever even think about going off road unless you have all the recovery gear.

 

ive had those bad experiences, has it put me off? No it hasnt, juat made me wiser..... i cNt say the same for my lamping buddy though

I bet if it wasn't possible to lamp from a motor there wouldn't be half as many lads keeping lurcher's.

strangers on it there,i like to be able to see,smell,hear the countryside at night,silently,not blasting across a field in a 4x4,itsamazing what you see when out lamping,its easy to become invisible if walking,lamp off ,walk on.

dont mean to sound rude here but when im lamping, im lamping. If i wanted to do a nature trail (see smell hear) id do it another time

 

You talk of becoming invisible i can only assume that you mean sneaking off if your poaching. I can only speculate here because i dont poach. But if i needed ti get away i would much rather take my chances in a motor than on foot.

 

Your full of shit you are pal

Have done it and don't get me wrong it gets the adrenaline pumping, you cover a lot more ground and get it done in a shorter time, and you more times than not "get on it" but these days I prefer to lamp out window, spot quarry park up and walk onto it if it's off before then then so be it.

theres lamping and driving the mud as said which is not the way to do it all that hanging on the side of a motor thats no good and just shows they dont know what they are doing ,i use the lamp and drive at the same time and dont have people hanging off the side of motors or telling what to do that way you can control things alot better and try to get the dogs out when its safe and not when some idot just chucks them out

oh right, whys that then mate?

 

Like i said in the post you quoted i really would rather take my chance in a motor. Maybe down your way they get the chopper out, but up here they dont.

 

Iv had some close calls and without the motor i would of been fooked.

Because you've openly said before you drive where you want and don't give a feck about the damage you do to fields(and posted pics of it) and to tell you the truth your one of the bad apples who brings it on top for others imo ,as for choppers wouldn't really know as only had it out once for me a few years back now and i was only walking puppies and a very old dog so the chopper,armed responce,3 other old bill motors and 7 forestry motors was a little OTT really,mind you it was a cracking little sort who frisked me

youv picked me up wrong mate... i dont go out with the intention of causing damage, but if it happens, it happens.

 

The picture your referring to was a bog hole i got stuck in, the rest of the field was left decent, a nit of flattened grass... was just unfortuneate that i hit the only boggy part... even the farmer laughed at that fact

 

I think anybody who does any 4x4 work, well, there all going to cause damage, sometimes. So i guess were all bad apples?

 

Never mind i aint going to get in a cyber-arguement about it
