hope they rinse the salt off aftwerwards....

Can think of better ways of ending your trip

Ouch! that sucks!!!

Oh man... that has gotta really **** them off!

I guess there is a reason you should only do beach runs when the tide is going out

Very much so.

Our offroad club has been called out to rescue more than a few 4x4s at pegwell bay in kent. I'll share our experience with you, should you come across someone in distress.

We found that....

If a truck is up to it's axels and the belly is 'sucked' to the sand you aint got much chance of getting it out without a tractor or something big (or three trucks). As the tide comes in the water lifts/disturbs the distressed truck slightly and releases the suction....this is the time to pull it out.

rust isnt gonna be their main concern is it?

Oh dear!

Shame, looks a nice truck. Reality will always ascertain itself!

Very good pictures you got of it!

Was there 6 months ago - it is really an empty place, not like you can count on finding anyone to tow you out. And as soon as water saturates the sand, it does become a lot more difficult to get it out.

Good reminder to always watch the tide...

Will be there in a couple of weeks - must be careful - coming round the big sand dune from the South is a bit scary as its always wet there.

Not wanting that to happen to any 4x4 'er.

Unfortunatly, it is some times a wicked learning curve.


Total write off I guess?

Vette

I owned one of them in Abu Dhabi with the 4 lt motor ....... and I can say they defo do not like salt
shame ........... nice truck

Where is Plage Blanche? Shame, looked like a nicely kitted out truck.
