Big hole at 'The Swamp'

[GROWLER]

I can't even use the excuse of it being muddy. It was bone dry in fact. I simply dug too bloody deep, and ended up with the car leaning over at about 45 degrees with the rear n/s wheel virtually off the ground

As I discussed with you yesterday p.m., I wonder if my familiarity with 'The Swamp' is breeding a bit of contempt with the place?
I personally don't see it as being much of a challenge now, hence the reason for the 'new feature'. Heaven help me/us if I DO manage to get hold of a JCB as I was suggesting I needed.
The new Himalaya range of the northern hemisphere.

Is that actually one of YOUR machines DS?

Use it for rounding the geese turkeys up do we?

No, Google image of nearly the right model. I have no computer pictures to hand.

Turkeys no, but turnips don't dig themselves up you know, the Poles are all working as plumbers and we sent all our own serfs to the Somme.

Well I am glad I had to dash off then.

Yea, i'm glad too. Don't like crying in front of an audience.

Fortunately, GROWLER jnr hitched up and between us we managed to drag the Landy out with the accompanying smell of burning clutch, then i promptly turned the tow car around and drove straight back into said hole.

NOT one of my brightest moments, and the sky matched my mood. Nearly black.

I think I know where I went wrong on the 'construction' side of things, and will go back tomorrow to ammend the layout.

You might get a phone call for further help.

P'raps DS would care to drive up from his turnip farm with one of his large machines to help out?

I immedately realised why all this happened. it sort of came to me in a bloody flash of brilliance.... you have managed to dig a magnetic hole! A sort of baby black hole, if I was you you I would bung a patent on it mate

When your in a deep hole and covered in shit, STOP DIGGIN'.

As far as you are concerned, practice makes perfect and it's natural to want to keep raising your game.

You'll need the impartial advice of someone not so close or familiar with it to keep objectivity.    I can't think of anybody that can fulfil that role...       

What occurred to me this morning, was to grade the paths around the swamp and number them into routes to follow according to ability, it then becomes desirable to work up to the most difficult by practice and experience.   You can then go all the way to the physical limits with a clear conscience. 

It will instil a ramp of ambition and improvement in your trainees and something to aim for by hard work and experience it will also eliminate the PC praise because either they will be able to do it or their won't.  A nice certificate for the top achievers.  Plain as day to everybody and wholly fair.
