Our young driver felt the best way to travel up the slippery and wet dirt road was quickly. What he hadn't factored into the equation was side-ways slippage. With encouragement, he quickly realised that we were about to slide off the road and into the deep drain on the edge of the road. With some further encouragement he decided to engage 4WD. Unfortunately I think we were already bogged, but more importantly, we were on the edge of the drain.
To cut a long story short, we invited a number of onlookers to assist us - which they did. We manually maneuvered the ute to the centre of the dirt road and encouraged our driver to slowly reverse down the hill. He successfully managed to reverse the car back onto the bitumen - and the whole exercise only cost us 12,000 shillings!
