    Can I ask WHY THE $#%@ did the driver of the truck pull over so far into that???? Go to 1.30mins, take a look... WTF?

    Pricisely the reason I hate tours, much rather get out there myself

    Of course not knowing the whole story it might have been necessary.

    I think in the first attempt the driver was trying to winch, as well as the Defender trying to pull hence broke something.

    Interesting to note in the second attempt the bus driver toots the horn as if to say "stop, stop" but the Defender driver just thinks "no way I'm stoppin mate"

    Don't know if that was the intent, but it certainly was the result - no take up the strain there.

    Probably would have been easier to come out backwards - the way it went in.
