a day on the beach
a few of us got together for a day on the beach in NW denmark, fantastic beaches that you can drive down for days without seeing one bit of tarmac, a future syncronaut event maybe???

Re: a day on the beach
Nice
I take mine the beach, but try and stay on the rocks, don't like sea water and sand getting everywhere! Not sure if it's even legal in our Country.
Also, was the grey panel van a VW colour? Looks ace and I'm half tempted to move away from rangerover orange and get something a bit more standard...

Re: a day on the beach
Great vid mate, Beauty of beach driving is you can trash the obstacles as much as you like & it just gets remade every 12 hours!.
Like the German 'BlockHaus's at around 5 mins, could make a great arty pics with the VW's.

Re: a day on the beach
most of the water we were driving through is run of from rivers and streams inland and we didnt really go near the sea water so nothing a quick jet wash wont solve, its still nothing in comparison to the amount of salt they spread on the roads over here every winter and whats even worse is the recycled tarmac and the amount of damage that does to your cars, rusting them up from the outside in
