no shortage of sand that's for sure. You must have a great sense of direction, looks very easy to become
disorientated,. Thanks heaps for sharing , cant beat the big sand pit lol

That would be so much fun, I reckon I would use both tanks of juice in that sand, I wouldn't want to leave.

this trip was designed for two driver levels to cross about 350KM and since am still newbie with the almost4x4 club they just allow us to drive at day one, the rest of the trip assigned for intermediate and explorers plus marshals.

350 Ks is a very very large sand pit indeed

i pass two summers with no issue at all and i think the cooling system are designed with minor different to obtain GOLF area condition

whooa that sand is very runny, drifting sideways all the time, dont know if i like that as it would be a struggle to keep it going forward in a straight line.

I'm sure George would love it, full throttle sideways in the sand.

I don't mind a bit of sideways action but not the whole way, they don't look like they are going straight anytime.

Don't think he deflated much if he was throwing it around like that.

would definately need the power of the 4.8 there.. looks like alot of fun though you can see how low the tyre pressures are in one frame where it almost looks like it on the rim

Exactly, we usually deflate twice due to the weather temperature

not surprised deflating twice, it would get to 50C odd degrees over there surely

from may to October no much activities on the sand, its crossing 50C but still you can see the sand lovers doing that at weekends.
