Yes that was a bad moment. My daughter and I were standing there as this car accelerated past our van and we watched as she shot through the gate,her vehicle then suddenly slewed to the right into the parked car.

I understand precisely what you are saying. It was an unfortunate combination of someone who, as you say, did not realise just what a 4x4 can and cannot do and who was advised by others to get a good run up and just 'go for it'.

The other irony is that there was a much better exit route in the top field that had been used successfully by many other cars and caravans and where we carefully exited on Monday morning.

Maybe something could be done using one of the many re-usable vehicle matting systems. Although this would cost money, which I guess will be in short supply after the problems with the marquees.

Let's hope it can be sorted so that this brilliant festival can continue.
