Urban hill-climb attempt
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 29 Aug 2015
The two young men in this four-wheel-drive forestry truck decided to attempt the grassy hill (gradient approx 1:6) on this urban housing estate. They failed, fortunately without toppling the truck over, but left evidence in the form of skid marks. Don't try this at home. Such behaviour was subsequently prevented by the erection of a metal fence along the bottom of the slope Image
