Thanks some interesting comments there, really makes me want to try out some different bike designs for exploring rough tracks. I do use my 26 inch wheel for that but it's an old bike with rim brakes so I just do that in the dry months now as I got fed up destroying rims every couple years on expensive wheels.
Yes I guess geometry must have much to do with manouverability, the short wheel base bike has a tighter turning circle, it also feels more stable at speed, it has that sit in it not on it feel mentioned above.
