Flooded River Crossing - 4x4 Adventure Yorkshire Dales 

Lol! Is that legit now 🤣

@@JKoverland we’ll need to get that verified, it gets my water crossing approval I’ll let you guys put that in your description if you want 😂

@@tomgreasley1346 ok happy with that 🤣👍

@@JKoverland I suspect that 4WD Action Australia has hit deeper crossings, and longer crossings. Though I'd have to go back and look. I know The Grand Tour has done deeper crossings of about the same length. Of course, they have a full camera crew with them to save them if something goes horribly wrong.

I love what are you doing, but please do it safe.

Spot on..

Exactly!!

Please don't spoil other's fun. They are experienced proper off roaders and have adapted vehicles... Don't be that joy killer.

They did really well, it’s up to them what they want to do. If you want to go rescue them then that’s your choice.

@@eidenmc all the firefighters I know would relish that sort of rescue!!

@@syncrosimon they didn't do well, they were luck, they gung-ho attitude of the 130 driver putthem in harms way, on that first crossing you could see Jack wasn't keen and once he'd crossed Jack felt he had to go, at that point they couldn't turn round as the force of the water would probably have taken them down stream, 2nd crossing they picked up the large log if that had hit a vehicle on the first or third it could have tipped the balance, if there had been a sizable stone on the river bed and it lifted the vehicle the force of the water hitting at a different angle would have taken it down stream especially on the third crossing, if Jacks vehicle had washed down the defender would have been immobilised with the tention in the rope if not dragged in as well, and the girl that entered the water what if a log had hit her or if the winch rope hsd snagged on a submerged log or something she would have been dragged under and there would be nothing any of them could have done! And I know this because it happened to two firefighters about 7 years ago while trying to rescue others in a similar situation, those two men had young families. The situation they put themselves in during this tri not only endangered their lives but those of others, if this had gone wrong losing a vehicle would have been the best they could hope for and would more than likely have been body recovery

The young lady walked through the torrent, and made it. That was a good test as to water conditions. It was fine, very exciting, and great to watch.

@@syncrosimon um no she didn’t she went over the bridge and up the inside of the bank

Thank you Darren for voicing your concerns. As always I am sure things can be done better. We walked the line along the banks and across the little foot bridge to get around the trees not cross it by walking so only up to waist and not in the main flow. By this time we had already driven the second for with the current so would have been very difficult to go back.

Totally agree Darren. Swift water should never be under estimated.

Nice like the safety first rule act

I know! It was impressive 😅🤣 so grateful!

But its incredibly dumb for your pal to stand directly across from your vehicle.

And full of electronics, which doesn't allow activities like this.

If you had done this in the new Defender 85 ECU's would now be fried......

Well put 😊 to work together makes all the difference. Best Wishes

@@JKoverland Google does not translate everything accurately , but I hope that the meaning of what I write to you is clear. I'm glad that, although virtual, I know people like you :)

Hahaha thank you 😊

I found with bigger tyres you float more and that in turn gives less traction. I was running 35” but now run 32”

@@darrenhale6320 Good point. They're 33x10.50s so I'm hoping the narrow aspect helps with tire to ground pressure

No aircon now 😂

Thank you! We all end up in certain situations from time to time 🙂

Hey! Thanks 😁👍

Agreed. I am an offshore structural engineer who understands hydrodynamic forces and have seen the damage it can cause. You don't mess with fast moving water.

An adventure for sure!

@@JKoverland In the village where I used to live in S Devon (Farway) there was a flash flood which raised the level of the ford. A young mum going home was too impatient to take the long way round. Her car got washed away and the two young children too. Lesson: You can drive through fast moving water provided it doesn't reach the underside of the body, but above that don't mess with it.

Totally agree. Entertaining RU-vid viewers seems to be the priority

@@charlesfulcrum3170 If one had to do the river crossing e.g. to take a woman in labour to hospital, clearly you'd do it without hesitation. But when it's just larking around to get a good video it's a totally different matter IMO. I think there was small risk of a total calamity but one of the vehicles could easily have been washed downstream with costly damage and a difficult recovery. Anyhow it's their choice so that's fine.

Totally got worse from 1 to 3 🤣 got there somhow 😅

@@JKoverland Yh it was fairly bad as it was not relley 3 Ford just one long Ford with water running down all the track!

@Russ Dykes yep carry a spool of sea fishing line / para cord make sure it’s weighted throw it across and then attach that to the winch line , the pull it across . Personally I though doing it the way I described is the safest way

Cheers Shaun 😄

Great drive, didn't think it would be on this level 😁

Hi Eamonn, yes just at tad but we did it 👍 no she's good. Being old and fully mechanical helps! No water in diffs of boxes either so I was please with that 🙂

It is a love hate for us 🤣 gets boring quickly but on the day a good storm is great 👌

@@JKoverland sure, I don’t mind the storms but not in 8deg weather🥶 our storms r normally over 25deg😁

🤣 amazing! Where are you?

@@JKoverland Zimbabwe 💪🏼💪🏼

Was the flow that was the sketchy bit 😅 that and floating teritory. Better with some of the water in the car then it sinks 🤣

No one is disputing them having fun the issue arises when you need help and that would put other people’s lives in danger.

Yeah 90% of people live their life like, what if , what if, what if. And then try telling the other 10% how to live theirs.

Shankar Balan take the bubble wrap off what's life without some risks

@@nath_frank5308 yo bro. You take ‘em risks. I ll sit and watch.

@@leoburnell7799 yeah Good for them. I would not try it a second time though if I were them.

Shankar Balan they don't need to they took the risk it paid off that's what I'm saying

Yes mate I have extended the diff breatherw up to the very top and back of the engine bay, an air pocket forms there so usually good unless was left under for a long time but you can raise to top of the snorkel. I've just changed all diff transfer oils not a drop of water!

😂😂

or dangerously unaware of the power of the flow.......... could've gone really bad

@@chrisdabrit123 I thought most people would have perceived the sarcasm in my comment? It was glaringly obvious that immersing yourself in fast flowing cold water of an unknown depth was lunacy. However I thank you for taking the time and effort in stating the obvious for me.

We seem to get into all sorts of situations when we travel together 😂

Pomsky I believe

😱

Thanks Steve 🙂 Best regards, J&K

4d56

Yes

Not to long after I removed the carpet 😂

Hello 🙂 Molly being so old escapes this problem with electronics as no ecu to be seen 😅 Best regards, J&K

Checked all and all is 👍

Totally went something like that 😅🤣

😉👋

Lol 😂 it kind of just happened tbh 😅

Thanks ok I get it 😅😅

No 😄

🤣🤣
