A mate with a Range Rover is coming round first thing. I'll be up at first light to dig some channels, line them with gravel and straw, and to hope it all works!

If your mate has a long (strong enough) rope and is on good ground, forget about the straw and gravel, put the suspension on high and follow him in reverse from the direction you entered, at least you know what that ground was like, going forward is unknown territory and could be worse than that you are in.
Hi, I'm in maldon also. Pm me if you need more than one Landy for a tow. Landy count so far is 3 Myself,beno2 and your mate with FFRR. Looking good

What's the best Terrain Response setting for this, please ?

I would have thought mud and ruts, and suspension up and low range 2nd gear.
Remember a video!!!!

Best of luck out there gesmi!
I wouldn't use low range as this may dig deeper. High range, second, suspension to high and keep a gentle but steady throttle. don't forget that the wheels will have to spin for a while till the electronics kick in.
BTW, what time is that movie with the fellow LR forum member stuck in mud premier???
