Well the angle that the photo was taken does make it look flat. However if you look closely you will see otherwise. The digger standing near the crane looks like he is leaning over but he is actually standing upright. The hill was difficult enough to walk up and required the lowest gear in 4x4 for the unloaded mog to get up. Also the photo was laken latter in the day and the "oh bugger!" happened at about 0630 when the dew/frost was still out with a vengence.
Believe me it is not a nice feeling when gravity takes over control of 6~7 ton of truck and when you are concentration on reversing then all of a sudden you are going in every which way except reverse is a tad off putting!
