No, just a stone wall!, and I really was only reversing at 2mph.
By the way, I've buggered the steering as well!!!
You can imagine the comment from the insurance company when I mentioned steering broken and reverse In the same sentence

If you were only doing 2mph why did you carry on reversing?
The scrapes look quite long!

Still, the ride home from N.Yorks Moors to Herts. on the AA transporter was a little adventure, and only cost approx £600 (fortunatley covered by my insurance). If it had been a breakdown and not an RTA it would have been free!!

John (DG) has explained to me exactly how it happened and I'm still not sure how it caused so much damage!
