This post is about the beach run. For a country with such a large coast line it is surprising how difficult it was to find a place where we could have a long beach drive. To get to this beach we had to pass through a windmill farm. Each of these seemingly small windmill wing is taller than three
trucks end on end!!
Driving on a beach without getting stuck means toeing the fine line between sand and water. The picture shows us parked on the firm sand area between the water and soft powdery stuff. The fun drive on beach was done without engaging any diff lock or use of high / low range. On stretches I could hit excess of 120kmph but had to watch out for rocks which tend to pop out of sand. Here you
can not brake hard as it would mean car digging in (and that would be one heck of job to take it out) or even worse flipping.
My first love….GV is second in all respects…even in the next sequence of pictures. It was one amazing place to enjoy the sea and sand in a unique style.
Coming out of the beach demanded some trick steering guidance and just enough acclerator. The wider pattern tyre’s helped.
