You gotta roll with it...

...you really should take your time...

Oops!

So today we had had five young Spanish guys in a Mitsubishi roll their 4x4 on a corner of our track. Just because you have a 4x4 you should not drive fast on loose gravel on a road you do not know!

We also encountered a French gentleman in a Suzuki Vitara who was driving too fast downhill and seemed a bit bemused when I would not drive into a ditch with a full trailer just so he could continue on his merry way. The appearance of a large Nissan Patrol in the middle of the track caused him to lose any common sense that he did possess as he reversed backwards up the road and off the side of the track onto a slope. He looked slightly sheepish as we passed, and looking into my wing-mirror I watched him wheel-spin the car in a particularly ineffective manner without moving very far.

Now I had two choices. I could have continued driving and left him there, however after 30 seconds of laughing at him Izzy and I got out and gave him some polite pointers that helped him get back on the road again. It probably did not help that the road tyres he had on his vehicle did not have much grip and that the French do not appear to understand the phrase "just give it a little power and go SLOW!"
