I then had a call from my mate saying he was heading to the Waimak to check out the flooding. After another mate getting stuck, we were flagged down by a Pajero who told us his mate was about to roll off a bank! It took three trucks to haul the guy back up. Me stabilising the front end to stop it tipping over and two other trucks hauling the back end up, carving a groove through the gravel.
The guy had been coming straight up the bank, thinking that he was gonna top out on a flat surface, only to find that his right wheels topped out and his left wheels hit thin air!
