A Road I was going to Help Repair but can't get any gear in there to do the job.

You don't appreciate how bad it got down there 'till you see shots like that.
BTW, how the hell do you repair the road in the first photo, build a bridge?

Low 1 would be fine for a Nissan, probably do it in Low 2, the bridge is for the Toyotas.

You sort of just fill it up again, you just need to ramp down in to the bottom of the pic, say start behind the twin cab in the photo and dig your way down then find a good base and compact the material as it goes back in. And get the drainage right so it doesn't happen again. Well somthing like that see how we go when we get there.

Thanks for that, still sounds like it will take longer than a weekend to repair.
Hope you have fun.
