Makes an amazing emergency exit!

I hope they are okay, I could cry for them.

Just because it’s 4x4 you still have to be careful

 

[Tombola]

I knew them bf Goodrich off road tyres where rubbish…

 

[Just smiffy]

On a serious note I really feel for them as the insurance company is going to try and riggle out of that one, no rallying on the policy…

 

[Bustup15]

The ground to the left that's in view looks pretty steep?

 

[Hawkstone]

Omg

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

If it is in Morocco . It will soon be righted and on its way. ( with a little panel beating).

It is in Spain somewhere, popped up on my Instagram feed. It was a deep rutted road , but god knows how they managed to tip it . A load of locals pulled it back over for them, but was a mess inside and the cabinets had all detached themselves from the wall. That said they managed to start it OK and get to a local village. As other have said, just because you have 4 wheel drive and off-road tyres, doesn't mean you can go anywhere!

Still taxed, insured and mot’d

 

[Tombola]

If its anything like my van its got , way too many heinz beans in the top cupboards I suspect.

 

[Backlanes]

Hopes and expectations dashed.
Huge investment bust.
Holiday ruined.
I feel sorry for those folk.

Hymer Driver me thinks?
I prefer a ladder, but I can get out of my skylights onto the roof (Back one easiest) of my Carthago, but that’s upright on four wheels.

No, Gorafe in Spain.

Would the insurance pay???
To me it looks like a driver error. So do the insurance pay out if you try to drive something you should not have and then fall over ????

Oh eck .. I recognise that van!

I've been following them on Tik Tok for the last couple of months. They have just done a month in Morocco and have been posting some excellent video of thier travels.

I hope they are OK and the van is repairable.

Blummin Eck, that’s no way to treat a Hymer……or is it
Hope they were ok

Mayya stashes tonic bottles there. I keep telling her not to.

Sharp bend on steep road, it probably tried to stall in low gear - muscle memory response is hit the gas.
Wrestling the wheel around the bend on loose surface, hands slip in sweaty hot weather:
Too much power & no wheel = OOooops !

 

[Platelet]

Checking the build quality of the joint seams. I hope they’re OK though.

It's in Spain, near Gorafe. Between Baza and Guadix.

We rode our E-mountainbikes through there last year and parts of the track that 4 x 4 use were challenging even for us.

Glad to see that neither of them were injured. They seem to be able to absorb the repair of the motorhome.

There's a nice park up above the area, with views to Sierra Nevada.

Is it an old river bed ??? Looks like the oz outback terrain

There's a driveable (by 4x4) track through the area, some of it following a dry (normally) river bed. The track, last year at least, had dried out water channels. Vehicles, would need to straddle them.

It's really not suitable for motorhomes, 4 x 4 even. A Land-rover, or similar sized vehicle is by far the best.

And the parkup. Before the off road section. Sierra Nevada in the background.

 

[The general]

Oh yes you got to be experienced off roader for sure

I had a Toyota land cruiser in the out back in oz but followed /watched locals up the riverbeds in their uits .

Exactly so. We were there last week looking for a spot on Park4Nite; ground deeply rutted after heavy rain. We squeezed through the canyon bit but then the track dropped steeply on the left and I feared a rollover so reversed, sweating and cursing, out again. It’s all clay up there and when it rains, the water runs, it doesn’t sink away. So it cuts deeply. It’s really treacherous.
