Dustcart stuck at Fairlight

Another poor location (a common occurrence this time of year!) The track was not suitable for large vehicles, being not much more than 2 hard strips where car wheels would go. The driver felt his route planner showed a bin along this track, unfortunately this wasn't the case and the laden dustcart went off the side of the track. It was a miserable rainy saturday evening and we decided to use the Foden again. Once again, the weight of the Foden hampered its capabilities. Although it had plenty of winch capacity, due to it straddling the narrow track it also got in trouble. A small amount of help was required to keep its front axle from disappearing to one side. The vehicle came out without any further damage.
