Clutch solid

Had a play in mud and water 2 months ago and have left GQ as it is since then. Went to move it yesterday and wheels turn but when I let out clutch she's solid and will not move. What's the best way to free this? Good ol pull with snatch and another car? Or does anyone have a clever solution?

bellhousing may be full of mud.? or is it in neutral on the 4wd lever, thats my fav trick to play.pull the boot of the bellhousing where the throwout fork goes in , insert garden hose and turn on tap. this normally fixes it but you may take some time if it has been sitting. watch the colour of the water that comes out of there. after it cleans up a bit you can run the motor with the hose still in and running and just push the clutch in and out a few times. you may need to repeat this after you have driven it for a day.
when you say solid do you mean it tries to move but doesnt/cant.?

Thanks for the reply. Definitely not handbrake, checked also she'll freewheel.
Will have another look tonight and get back to you.
Cheers
