FabSwingers.com forum: That awkward moment...

So... I decided in my infinite wisdom the other night to pay the local dogging spot a visit (while it was freezing!). It didn't look too bad out there and I was bored!

So, I pull into the bottom path first and test the brakes a bit - bit frosty but nothing major. Down I go into the car park, wait for a bit and eventually thought to try the one up the road. No drama there.

Now i pull into this road and this one is a sharp downwards hill above the first one overlooking the res... So when I start testing the brakes a bit, everything is ok. The second I get some downward momentum, I start to slide...!

I managed to survive the stupidly icy corner and slid onto the car park to a complete halt...ontop of at least an inch of ice from the water seeping out down the hills. So - extremely fucking gently - I tried to slowly drive out - only to find myself stuck in the same spot.

For 30 mins.

Alone.

With no phone.

I managed to budge the car to the side where there was some gravel and managed to spend 20 mins crawling up the hill and back out!

Has anyone else had a "oh fuck I've got myself stuck here" moment on a dogging spot late at night?
