So I'm in the area for a few days.
Great to see the syncro doing its stuff!

We had a relaxing trip mainly camping and drinking with friends we had one brief stop on the beach at Myleston.
I have posted a video on youtube not too exciting but great fun.

What I found interesting on the video (the first one) was watching the sand off the rear tires from the back. Looks like the mud flaps direct a lot of sand in towards the engine, as you climb a bit in the soft stuff there is a lot of sand that appears to poor over the muffler and down between the muffler and rear panel.
Scary to think of the path the sand took to get from the rear tire to exit over the muffler. It's a bit of a concern just how much dirt covers the engine after even a short run in dusty conditions.
I was caught out last year in soft sand, a track I had passed through fine the day before, after a lot of use I could not get out, that is with 215R15's at 16psi. Was a very tight track so could not get a run up, I got no further diff lock off or on, after a few failed attempts I took a different track (I didn't get bogged). An amarock ahead of me got out fine with less ground clearance, and probably a little more weight. I would say that was more to do with the torque curve of the amarocks engine, I needed a run up to maintain revs, and most likely spun the wheels more. I also wonder if a solid shaft instead of the viscous would have helped?
