Not all SUVs are 4 wheel drive, and many of those that are aren't really tyred up for tackling something as extreme as Sutton Bank in the snow. Dial into the equation the possibility that the writer might not be experienced at off-road driving techniques and you end up with a situation where someone who thinks they can go anywhere manages to get an all singing all dancing Carlos Fandango Chelsea tractor stuck on a school playing field.
21" alloys with wide low profile tyres might be cool on tarmac, but they're rubbish at making traction in snow or mud. There's lots of footage of pre-war cars, not just Austin Sevens making easy progress through knee deep mud that would flummox most modern SUVs and their users. Let's face it most of them can't even park properly at Sainsbury's.
Just because it's got a 4 litre engine doesn't mean you're going to succeed. It's not the size of your bait that matters, but how you dangle your maggot...
Dave, I was being flippant. I can see there is no footway (as such) but the offside wheels of your RN are on what might well be construed as being public highway and as such would have rendered the parking illegal. I'm happy that you didn't get a ticket. I would have let you off anyway. You owe me a pint. Wortles is buying.
