Flooded River Crossing - 4x4 Adventure Yorkshire Dales
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2020
- Tackling a flooded river crossing by 4x4 can be dangerous and care should be taken to ensure it is within the limits of both driver and vehicle. The river crossings we took on this route are normally nothing more than a gentle stream on any other day.

And I thought 4wd action had the wildest river crossings, I was wrong !!!
Lol! Is that legit now 🤣
@@JKoverland we’ll need to get that verified, it gets my water crossing approval I’ll let you guys put that in your description if you want 😂
@@tomgreasley1346 ok happy with that 🤣👍
@@JKoverland I suspect that 4WD Action Australia has hit deeper crossings, and longer crossings. Though I'd have to go back and look. I know The Grand Tour has done deeper crossings of about the same length. Of course, they have a full camera crew with them to save them if something goes horribly wrong.
Man/women of the match goes to the water wader chick 🙏 she’s a keeper her.
The first to cross should always leave a tow line behind. Firstly if they make it they can pull the next vehicle if not they can get pulled back. Or daisy chain all the vehicles to make a train, best done with a solid bar to create a push me, pull you action. You made it , so all is well.
Love the 130.
LOVE THIS ! 🎉
That was sick. Kudos for that girl jumping in the water at 8 celcius. Damn
I’m so glad we still have some gutsy young people left in this country. Good on you and forget the wimps on these comments. Life is for living not elf and safety.
Driven this route myself when the water was just a trickle and vowed to return when there was more. Looked awesome, well done
Never ever use winch line for towing! You are breaking winch by self and especially winch gearbox and it’s not safe at all for spectators. For this fun please use towing rope!
I love what are you doing, but please do it safe.
Well done guys you all deserve a medal
Super-duper!! This is what viewers like. 🤘👍
Hahaha thank you 😊
Keep having Fun ! ... life’s to short not to take a few risks , just be sensible 😁
Excellent, I love/fear water crossings but boy i haven't turned back from one yet. well done.
But its incredibly dumb for your pal to stand directly across from your vehicle.
We did this coming the other way a few days after you (at night), water level had dropped, but still deep! Good to watch a calculated risk pay off.
looks great fun!
Molly the submarine, that was awesome 😎
So brave ,deepest river crossing I've ever seen,congrats,keep having fun
Respect for the second Woman - that`s enthusiasm...
Best Regards, Alfred
I know! It was impressive 😅🤣 so grateful!
Hallo your crazy Adventures! I love this episode1
Hey! Thanks 😁👍
I love the spirit of all of you . Hope our offroad paths will cross someday.
Greetings from Belgium.
Brilliant! Crazy, but brilliant :)
True friendship is born when there are also good and bad moments, lived together ... Be happy friends
Well put 😊 to work together makes all the difference. Best Wishes
@@JKoverland Google does not translate everything accurately , but I hope that the meaning of what I write to you is clear. I'm glad that, although virtual, I know people like you :)
Wish I was with you guys!!
Love it❤️
wow well done guys and as for the girls omg mad as a bucket of frogs hahaha fair play
Don't know how I came across the vid..However GREAT..👌👌👌👍. That young lassie that waded the river. BALLS OF STEEL. 🥰
Fair play, we did this in September and the water Lever was no where near that high, we're going back this weekend, fingers crossed she's as deep as this 😍
Well impressed 👍👍👍👍
That looked like fun
That really was some adventure absolutely brilliant no i would not have done that hats off to you 👍 🏴
Cheers Shaun 😄
Love your channel - but I think this one is my favourite video. Great!
A risk not worth taking. If things went wrong your next video may have been a more somber episode. Remember what happened at Strata Florida. Drowning and hyperthermia shouldn’t be taken lightly. Stay safe out there.
Spot on..
Exactly!!
Please don't spoil other's fun.
They are experienced proper off roaders and have adapted vehicles...
Don't be that joy killer.
Awesome guys, I certainly don’t miss that weather...
It is a love hate for us 🤣 gets boring quickly but on the day a good storm is great 👌
@@JKoverland sure, I don’t mind the storms but not in 8deg weather🥶 our storms r normally over 25deg😁
🤣 amazing! Where are you?
@@JKoverland Zimbabwe 💪🏼💪🏼
That would have been over my jimnys roof i reckon! Awesome stuff.ATB👍👍👍
Was the flow that was the sketchy bit 😅 that and floating teritory. Better with some of the water in the car then it sinks 🤣
Me and my girlfriend have been driving across Yorkshire for the past 5 days. And Jesus Christ, we have never driven through that kind of rain before. Were in the lakes now and it has been bucketing it down. Real UK weather!
Respect. I wouldn't have done it.
You mad poms go alright 🤙wicked content you legends have
Good one , you travel with some brave young women.
Awesome vid. Feels great the first time you get the inside soggy !
Don't worry though, that's what they put doors on for - to let the water out...
Avoid using a winchline for towing though.
The Land Rover Defender is real weapon! Great vehicles, pity they were discontinued in that body shape. The new Defender is ugly and a square box.
And full of electronics, which doesn't allow activities like this.
If you had done this in the new Defender 85 ECU's would now be fried......
Love the video that’s totally me 👌🏻😃
You guys should do some swift water training , if that log that Molly picked up had gone over that winch line instead and taken the winch line with it the lady wouldn’t be here now I know it’s a what if but wrapping any line around you like that in swift water is a Massive no no . Massively irresponsible IMO, ask any swift water rescue team to view this and give you an opinion
Thank you Darren for voicing your concerns. As always I am sure things can be done better. We walked the line along the banks and across the little foot bridge to get around the trees not cross it by walking so only up to waist and not in the main flow. By this time we had already driven the second for with the current so would have been very difficult to go back.
Totally agree Darren. Swift water should never be under estimated.
Nice like the safety first rule act
Great video. AHHHHH man id of loved to have been on tis adventure. defo up my street :)
We seem to get into all sorts of situations when we travel together 😂
Water crossings are my favorite thing to do. That one was a little deeper than I've ever done however. My deepest/most worrisome was going across a flooded creek/river. The road on either side was a little over 2 lanes wide and the water was about 4 or 5. I started as far to the right (United states) as I could and by the time I got to the other side I had to turn into the current to make it up the opposite left side of the bank. That was in an xj with a 2" lift and 30s. My current xj has a 5" lift and 33s so it may do a little better but I haven't had the opportunity to find out yet.
I found with bigger tyres you float more and that in turn gives less traction. I was running 35” but now run 32”
@@darrenhale6320
Good point. They're 33x10.50s so I'm hoping the narrow aspect helps with tire to ground pressure
Brave and strong girl!
That’s nuts knew it was going 2 be bad round that 3rd Ford! Fair play some big nuts 2 drive it!!!!
Totally got worse from 1 to 3 🤣 got there somhow 😅
@@JKoverland Yh it was fairly bad as it was not relley 3 Ford just one long Ford with water running down all the track!
How did the first girl with the camera get across the ford at 5'30"?
That Girl is mad ! 8deg c and she just walks over . You guys ow her a dinner in a top restaurant. .
7:57 ahahahahahaha... nooooo...noooooo ahaha
Not sure if you already know this but, having the aircon switched on so it hits the windscreen, is a much faster & better way of u fogging the windscreen. It was a great video!
No aircon now 😂
Вы безумно классные,судлвольств ем подписываюсь!
Awesome wading . And Liked when she said molly picked up a stick like a dog made me laugh 😂. Friends make any adventure more fun .yes I’d do it have before . Awesome wading girl she’s a keeper and she was laughing about it to , that’s the kind of girl you want to go around the world over landing with . (Like Kristina ) . cheers . From Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
Thanks Steve 🙂 Best regards, J&K
Madness!!! 🤣
😉👋
That's what snorkels ar for!
The new 2020 defender can only do 900mm in water ..I think you smashed that..ha ha
My God I want to see the new defender do that go get one to try it with
coool
That’s a hack of an adventure! Well done! BTW, where can I find such amazing, brave, adventures and uncomplicated women? 😉 The ladies are full into it: cold, wet, walking through a river, doing the filming in the rain and no complaints!
The young lady wading across with the winch cable is a brave girl.
or dangerously unaware of the power of the flow.......... could've gone really bad
@@chrisdabrit123 I thought most people would have perceived the sarcasm in
my comment? It was glaringly obvious that immersing yourself in fast flowing cold water of an unknown depth was lunacy. However I thank you for taking the time and effort in stating the obvious for me.
Braver than I, no way would I have done that, felt like the other guy pressured you into it.
🤘
Little silly to do that, blind luck you both got through
Agreed. I am an offshore structural engineer who understands hydrodynamic forces and have seen the damage it can cause. You don't mess with fast moving water.
An adventure for sure!
@@JKoverland In the village where I used to live in S Devon (Farway) there was a flash flood which raised the level of the ford. A young mum going home was too impatient to take the long way round. Her car got washed away and the two young children too. Lesson: You can drive through fast moving water provided it doesn't reach the underside of the body, but above that don't mess with it.
Totally agree. Entertaining TH-cam viewers seems to be the priority
@@charlesfulcrum3170 If one had to do the river crossing e.g. to take a woman in labour to hospital, clearly you'd do it without hesitation. But when it's just larking around to get a good video it's a totally different matter IMO. I think there was small risk of a total calamity but one of the vehicles could easily have been washed downstream with costly damage and a difficult recovery. Anyhow it's their choice so that's fine.
You guys are totally mad, loved this one. I’ve done those fords, but not in those conditions, great work
Great drive, didn't think it would be on this level 😁
In Australia we say if you can't walk it you shouldn't drive it. Also that water was going way to fast to safely cross. However I have sunk my Nissan patrol 3 times. Once to the roof so who am I to judge!
Thank you! We all end up in certain situations from time to time 🙂
To keep it safe we are going to attach a winch, which i will bring to you by wading across the unsafe river and then we cross safely!!
@Russ Dykes yep carry a spool of sea fishing line / para cord make sure it’s weighted throw it across and then attach that to the winch line , the pull it across . Personally I though doing it the way I described is the safest way
The Landrover 130 and the Mitsubishi Pajero did well
Hi Jack and Kristina
Bet was scary but well done for going for it, any deeper and you would have needed a periscope 😂 has Molly suffered any ill effects after her dunking?
Great episode, thanks guys.
Eamonn.
Hi Eamonn, yes just at tad but we did it 👍 no she's good. Being old and fully mechanical helps! No water in diffs of boxes either so I was please with that 🙂
I dunno how I had missed this episode....Epiiiicccc.. Hat's off to the lady who went across....was Molly alright the days after this adventure or you had to pamper her??
On the plus side: free blinker fluid top off
😂😂
Your Mrs is peng. Congrats
Hi, i enjoyed your video, what engine does the montero have?
4d56
Guys! That was insane!! How long did it take for the car to dry out?
Not to long after I removed the carpet 😂
You are so lucky that could have ended so badly the pressure in that water is in the tons, as an ex north yorkshire fire fighter working with swift water rescue there are so many things that you are lucky didn't happen, and if they had given your location it could have taken 5 hours for help to arrive, and the resources needed would have been significant as well as putting lives at risk, sorry guys love the chanel but this was a stupid thing to do.
They did really well, it’s up to them what they want to do. If you want to go rescue them then that’s your choice.
@@eidenmc all the firefighters I know would relish that sort of rescue!!
@@syncrosimon they didn't do well, they were luck, they gung-ho attitude of the 130 driver putthem in harms way, on that first crossing you could see Jack wasn't keen and once he'd crossed Jack felt he had to go, at that point they couldn't turn round as the force of the water would probably have taken them down stream, 2nd crossing they picked up the large log if that had hit a vehicle on the first or third it could have tipped the balance, if there had been a sizable stone on the river bed and it lifted the vehicle the force of the water hitting at a different angle would have taken it down stream especially on the third crossing, if Jacks vehicle had washed down the defender would have been immobilised with the tention in the rope if not dragged in as well, and the girl that entered the water what if a log had hit her or if the winch rope hsd snagged on a submerged log or something she would have been dragged under and there would be nothing any of them could have done! And I know this because it happened to two firefighters about 7 years ago while trying to rescue others in a similar situation, those two men had young families. The situation they put themselves in during this tri not only endangered their lives but those of others, if this had gone wrong losing a vehicle would have been the best they could hope for and would more than likely have been body recovery
The young lady walked through the torrent, and made it. That was a good test as to water conditions. It was fine, very exciting, and great to watch.
@@syncrosimon um no she didn’t she went over the bridge and up the inside of the bank
OMG some of the Comments, great to see some young people having unadulterated Fun !
No one is disputing them having fun the issue arises when you need help and that would put other people’s lives in danger.
Yeah 90% of people live their life like, what if , what if, what if. And then try telling the other 10% how to live theirs.
Just let the lady do the dangerous freezing cold bit
Driven that one many times. Just not with that much water!
Hollyyyyyy shhh... Molly
Totally went something like that 😅🤣
Hi Jack, Have you added diff breathers to Molly? I would like to know if they are myth or reality.
Yes mate I have extended the diff breatherw up to the very top and back of the engine bay, an air pocket forms there so usually good unless was left under for a long time but you can raise to top of the snorkel. I've just changed all diff transfer oils not a drop of water!
Great video, some highly questionable decisions, but great a great video. Is that a Swedish Valhund?
Pomsky I believe
This is our local lane... it gets a lot worse than that... problem is when you are in to the last ford the water is running against you and you end up stuck! Seen it happen lots here! You guys got lucky!
Good evening,
if I had been in the water, with my WG jeep, it would have stayed in the middle of the river,
the ECU computer unit should not have appreciated this forced bath.
Well done to you, and to Molly.
Sorry for my imperfect English, I am French.
Hello 🙂
Molly being so old escapes this problem with electronics as no ecu to be seen 😅
Best regards, J&K
No way but well done
Thanks ok I get it 😅😅
Wow well done one of the best A+. Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What motor is in the Pajero? 4d56t?
Yes
The Defender was within a hairs breadth of floating off downstream, fast flowing rivers are not to be taken so lightly. You were a long way, but more importantly a long time away from rescue. Have fun folks but be safe.
*It's a Wee Tyre Wash at best !*
Check your diff oil
Checked all and all is 👍
I've done a lot worse than that and just got away with it !! Luckily I was in a Land Rover Discovery 3 Petrole V8 good Job it weights 2.9 metric Tons
I’ve actually witnessed a Toyota 100 series Land Cruiser cross a river, get swept 30 metres to their right, go that deep that only the head of the snorkel was above the water line, and drive up the bank on the opposite side. Those of us who witnessed it were certain once they started moving to the right, that they were gone. They came upon a rising sand & pebble track that used to be from an older crossing point.
😱
💚💚👍
OMFG 😂😂😲😲
🤣🤣
She's a keeper, but please don't ever tie a line around yourself when entering water, I know someone who died doing that, it's so dangerous!!
Perfect example of what not to do.
that's what i call a co-pilot can i hire her
Heuristic traps? Tick.
Talk about how to be stupid. Beautifully illustrated in these videos. This level of water and speed of current is seriously dangerous. Foolhardy to attempt such a crossing. Irrespective.
Shankar Balan take the bubble wrap off what's life without some risks
@@nath_frank5308 yo bro. You take ‘em risks. I ll sit and watch.
@@leoburnell7799 yeah
Good for them. I would not try it a second time though if I were them.
Shankar Balan they don't need to they took the risk it paid off that's what I'm saying
Imagine if the car got caught up.on something and rolled in that water. Not wise.
Man am surprised you two can drive them cars with balls that size No way I’d do that in my little defender.
Lol 😂 it kind of just happened tbh 😅
That was sketchy
Is your girl South African?
No 😄
Great content guys but a 45 second into alone? Come on guys no ones here for that , please get rid of that. Never understood why anyone can’t just put that stuff and sponsors etc at the end?
