Had much bigger down here drive 
It’s Plymbridge Lane in Plymouth and it’s very clearly signposted at the top that it’s not suitable and do not follow sat nav. Couldn’t of been a local Gregory driver is my guess
■■■■ me!!
where was he going, its plymbridge road, and the road just loops round back to the B3432 with nothing along it, he must of hadsatnav set to scenic route due to being a sunny day.
So how would they recover that?
Pull it back out the way it came?
Pull it forward? Cut some trees down?

Thought unsuitable was not enforceable the blue sign I know red circle you can’t go no matter what

I think you might be right Ben but I’m not totally sure if there is different signage there now. It’s not the first time it’s happened but usually it’s our flip flop wearing friends.
As for recovery it looks like the trailer was dropped and the unit removed then I’m guessing the trailer was literally pulled out with a wrecker. The pic at the end of the story shows the unit being hooked back up to the trailer
Thats already being “pulled out” look at all the debris in the forground of the picture. Also hows a wrecker gonna get in front of it! Saw a puc on fb of it out already earlier.

How the ■■■■ can you continue driving down there until you get stuck■■? Surely alarm bells would be ringing the instant it got a bit tight & you’d stop
When you do farm collections/deliveries, you get used to going down lanes whilst thinking “what the fork”… or round corners that would be tight in a land rover… 
If he hadn’t bottled it, and put his foot down, he’d gotten through there.
Its a Scania, might as well leave it there

That pic fills me with dread 
,.I’m doing that sort of thing down there every week, some of the roads I’m expected to go down are unbe ■■■■ lievable.
I always do all I can to pre check access and getting back out, starting with a phone call to the farmer, but a lot of the time they are only concerned with getting their delivery, …you ‘‘should’’ get down ok is a popular answer. 
Another one is ’ We get artics down here all the time’’
Aye, short arsed tippers and rear steer milk tankers.
Another one is ‘‘Turn right/left at the Unsuitable for HGVs sign’’
So Google Earth next, but even then it can be deceptive,.the tightness of some of the bends for instance.
So I for one ain’t gonna condemn him take the ■■■■ out of this guy…
There but for the grace…etc etc’’
I used to deliver to a stonemason who rented a barn near Solihull. The barn was half a mile up a lane and when I spoke to the guy on the phone the first time, he told me to reverse up. Not hard as it was fairly straight, but there was a deep ditch on the side opposite the yard, so reversing past and driving in was easy.
One day I was sitting drinking tea with him when a guy came in on foot. It turned out that he was also delivering (20 tonnes of granite blocks) but had come in from the other end of the lane. The problem was that there were three 90-degree bends and he had got round the first, but stuck on the second.
I didn’t have time to go and look, but when I went back a couple of days later I heard that a farmer with a big tractor had pulled him back into a field, where the trailer sunk to its axles. Getting it out was a major operation as they couldn’t bring a big crane in. In the end, they unloaded it and dragged the empty trailer out.
