In the last edition of H&H there was an article that said many events had cancelled in the recent monsoon season because organisers could not recover large lorries without risking injury or particularly bad damage to the ground. In many cases they said the course was fine but that they were worried about the lorry park and excessive mud on the public highway.
Just a thought, but is it not possible to "ban" lorries above a certain size when the weather has been bad? Most 4x4 + trailers can happily look after themselves in such conditions and many people with lorries have access to an alternative if given a bit of notice. Obviously a non-starter if you have 7 horses to run but that's quite a small minority at most events.
