All booked for the weekend, if I'd realised it was a long weekend & the strat of the school break I'd have suggested another day but that old news now.

Dave will meet us at the servo at 9am on Sat morning.

What's the recommended tyre pressure for sand driving?


Suggest somewhere between 15-20psi. Have a great time and say hello to Newcastle for me. Look forward to seeing some pics. :D

I will say a big "Hi" for you when were there :lol:

So why is that they say skinny tyres are better for sand but at the same time you must air down to widen your tread :roll:

Well I'm back and my tan has gotten darker :lol:

Happy to report the shovel stayed in the shovel holder and the snatch straps were never used.

Pics soon.

Thanks again for a good day out Ed, other than a near head on at the exit it was an care free day. It's hard to stop when your doing 40k's in what seemed to be one lane with a Partol doing the same comming your way :shock: . Got me a little worried as Ed said don't stop on the exit as you will get bogged :lol:
This is Dave's KJ, just after he avoided getting bogged.

Short break.

Now that I remember, we did have one problem. I followed Ed up a dune & when it seemed like I wasn't going anywhere I gunned it. It was like some one stood out side Karen's window with a few buckets of sand & threw them into the front :shock: Totally unexpected, I'm sure I got a fright. Every thing in the front was covered with sand, thus my front window wouldn't work for 1/2 the day untill the sand had worked it's way past the switch.

I took one of my old skate boards along in the hope that it would slide on the sand. At our first stop there was a steep hill that looked like it should do the job. Once at the top I realised that I didn't want to kill my self so I had a go at something not so steeeeeeeeep.

It went well & was more fun than I though, that was the better of the 2 short vids my wife took. Next time I will take the wheels of my long board & give that a go. This board's length is between a normal board & a long board.
