OK Andy - What's the story re the upside down 4x4 (Jeep?) at the side of the trail in this photo?

Yes, well spotted. It was a Nissan Pathfinder that rolled off the road fairly recently going by the condition of it.
Its a narrow, steep, rocky section there (the photo doesn't show the knarly-ness!).

We looked for a licence plate in case it was reported stolen but there was no sign of it :dontknow:

Hey I need tires for my 100” build. Maybe I should head out with a battery powered impact and get some?

Poor sod that owned the Pathfinder must be pretty unhappy right about now. Hope no one got hurt.

4WDABC guys say it has been there for 2 years - it must have the perfect microclimate there for not growing green stuff or rust, because it looks like it was fresh...
