    Oops! It appears that you were lucky enough for it not to have hit the fence or anything.

    It doesnt look like it, but that is actually at the bottom of a hill. I was going fairly slowly (less than 20), changed down a gear, feathered the clutch back in, and started sliding.

    By that time I guess I was doing just over 10mph

    The road was actualy compacted snow, and very slippery, and I guess that even gently slipping the clutch back in was enough to start me off.

    I then just slid off the camber and into the ditch.

    You were lucky! Did you get it out or is it still there?
