Cold winter snap at minus ten degrees that froze the bog that morning over which Hugh Greig was extracting timber with the Bruunett registration number D356ASG. Bruunett model?

The extraction exercise failed when the day warmed up a bit and the machine broke through the peat surface. It took half a day winch him out with a Tirfor hand winch!
