Oh, and I was driving  TFC let me drive every other day Which was sort of nice, sort of scary 
As you can see from the video, I attempted to get up that section a few times, with the car set to GGS. When one of the spotters mentioned the rock, TFC turned the TR to Rock Crawl and it went up first time
Have to say that 3 weeks away with 1 to 1 tuition from someone like TFC was awesome 
The only downside was being worried about damaging someone elses' car  Black Betty Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by

The video doesn't show it but there were sparks coming off the chains where they contacted the rocks
Stu was an excellent driver once he got out of 'weekend pay & play' mode 
TBH if I wanted to spend a week looking at the @r$e end of other vehicles i'd spend it on the M25 not a french mountain There was a comment that the whole of the three weeks would have been better spent in Tunisia - can't argue with that!  for Freelander 2 Diesel, Discovery 3 / RR Sport TDV6 & RR Sport TDV8, Defender (TD5 & Puma) - available Now!
Vehicle modifications, preparation, training and equipment also available
