Overheard while watching the news on Ukrainian aid convoys:
Hay: "They're taking huge, hi-tech printers to print....
Chairman: "UK visas?"
Hay: "...massive signs to tell refugees where to go in the camps for certain supplies."
While walking in Dorset last weekend we went down a very, very muddy lane, but there were tractor tyre imprints in the mud, through which a car or motorhome could never travel, but a tractor did.
I've never seen a tractor bogged down in mud. I have, however, seen many a motorhome or car stuck on wet grass in a farmer's field that has been given over to motorhomes and caravans.
I can't imagine this beast ever getting stuck in a wet, grassy field though. Perhaps motorhomes for those who do more in the way of wild camping in fields should be optionally fitted with huge, deep tread tractor tyres.
The specialist tyres sold for motorhomes by tyre manufacturers are only marginally better than standard tyres. As extra protection against getting bogged down, we carry sand ladders - large, plastic grids having rough sand embedded into the plastic for grip - on the back of our motorhome, but they take up valuable bike space.
