Got a knock on the door last night, some coach driver ( Full 52 Seater)with all of two passengers has come down narrow lane towards house ( single track road , very narrow, not really recommended for anything over 7.5T)  Anyway driver  decided he had made error, turned around and in process got back wheels stuck in the verge whilst facing up hill on a 1;6 hill, glad to say my humble 463 pulled it on to the tarmac with no burning clutch etc, though thankfully reverse is lowest gear, one very grateful coach driver, though putting tow strap on front axle of a coach  a right pain as axle so far back.Driver too big to get under front.....

Good man! Well done. I hope he gave you something for your trouble! Last time I rescued someone who had got stuck in the woods (an Albanian van driver) he gave me a satsuma.!

Re: G saves Coach

It was exactly that, but at which point down the muddy track should he have thought 'this can't be the way back to London? I know a lot of Albanian roads aren't great, but that's ridiculous!
