Yeah we are fine. I was only 30m into the track damn it! Went up a section and it turned out to be too slippery so backed out and did a u turn. Heading back out, no wheel ruts, very slippery, became a passenger damn it and just slid off the side and slammed into a very big tree off the side with the drivers side wing. Lucky the airbag did not go off.
Bull bar, bonnet, right quarter, grill, lightforce XGTs all knackered

Glad you're all okay.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

That's on of the real issues with all the track grading that is going on. Is fine in the dry.....can be downright dangerous in the wet.
I hate being a passenger like that...not a nice feeling.

Yeah! Avoid deep ruts!!!
It was actually a lack of ruts and a slick wet clay surface that let me slip off the drive line without any indication then just slid for 10 m into the 1200D tree off the track.
Yeah! Avoid deep ruts!!!
I have a couple of pics on the phone but the phones flat.
