Very bad driving from that guy..
He was spot on first time,then it ALL went wrong...Crazy...💯👍

I am a tipper driver and it is difficult because of the weight you do know your going to sink. Until you do the best thing to do tip the first load just off the road by the gate. Grade it inwards second load reverse on clean stone drop the load grade that and so on. Even with the stone down doesn't mean you will not sink if it is not compacted. Been there 30 years mixers as well. Reverse once only keep straight if possible when it starts to feel the pain stop that's it. It going to go any further no matter how hard you try. Wish you well on your project. Thanks mark bridgend south Wales.

Gutted that we have only just found this channel. Really looking forwards to your return. We are looking to do similar. Finding it really hard to find an acre or more with static caravan permissions.

Burning question everyone wants to ask is how did you guys find this place. We’re following your progress, great to watch

[@charliecroker7380]

I suppose the other issue the driver had, was considering his egress, once he'd offloaded. There would be 15 tonnes less grip over the driving wheels and even more chance of getting stuck.

Great humour Ryan

We all live and learn..looking forward to see the progress..I'm looking at taking some land soon and you maybe give me option's and thoughts b4 I crack on

[@OffGridinWales]

Love that saying!! You'll have to keep us up to date with your journeys =D

[@mylighthouse10]

What on earth! Talk about creating a problem where none was 😅🙊 Well we’re all learning..

[@OffGridinWales]

Haha certainly are :) xx

[@brainclerk4431]

as i see it, if the driver had raised the truck bed on the first and second attempt he would have gotten the tree stuck underneath it and wouldn't be able to lower it again , driving forward with the bed up at that angle would be a disaster too. please clear the tree at the gate or you won't get the static home in either !

[@clayreduncan3324]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 good grief. Ahhhh fast forward two years and you will look back and laugh

[@OffGridinWales]

That is so true haha =D Always the way xx

[@Leprechaun886]

Was it residential land may I ask what it cost ???

[@stevescott9571]

Drivers fault that

[@gazwoods7026]

That truck driver was dumb af, just sliding sideways making trenches for you to fill , more work for you, but at least you've got your stone guys 🇬🇧✊🏼

I hope that’s sarcasm 😂
