"I was driving along this road when my husband spotted a track leading to a field. There was a grass slope up to another track. He bet me that I would not be able to drive the car to the top of the slope and back along the second track to the road. He offered to pay for a pub lunch if I did it. Well, there is nothing a girl likes more than a challenge, so here is one of my first attempts to get up the bank. Almost made it!"

"Whilst stuck at the top, he started filming my legs as I worked the clutch pedal up and down"

"This grass is wetter than I thought. I can't stop the wheels spinning. This car is pretty useless at getting any grip, even though it is front wheeled drive"

"Now I am getting worried that I may not be able to do this after all. I thought it would be so easy! If I approach it too slowly I can't reach the top of the slope, but when I speeded up, the car started to slide towards the ditch and frightened me"

"I've made it almost to the top, but I think I have tried to hard to get up the last few feet, because it feels like I have dug myself into a rut. I can't even reverse now, even though the car is on quite a steep slope. I really am stuck"

"I won't tell you if I made it and won the bet, you will have to buy the movie. Here I am driving along to a picnic site that he wants me to visit. The trouble is my skirt keeps riding up when I change gear"

"I want to check how much mud there is around the front wheels because driving along on the road, the steering feels very light, as though the wheels are still covered in mud. I will also be able to pull my skirt down (a little!)"

"I did not realise that my stocking tops show when I walk, how embarrassing"

"Maybe its no so bad, just a little glimpse through the split if you are lucky!"

"Here I am trying to drive across the grass at the picnic site. I avoided the really boggy bit beside the road, but then could not get up the slope. I reversed and somehow managed to get into the really wet mud, and now I can't get back any further either"

"This is worrying, I have just tried to move forwards and turn round back towards the road to get out that way, but the car will not move. I have tried reverse again but I am really stuck, and starting to look worried, as I know we are about 5 miles from the nearest farm. I hope my old man is feeling strong, because I definitely need a really big push"
