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???

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...

on the positive side it did mean that i could finish the day of with lots of beer and then be transported all the way home
i will definately be keeping the defective ignition coil in the van ready for the next time i need to break down

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.

tend to agree...mine rusting fast enough without salt baths! seen what it did to my quads and bikes and certainly wont be dipping my syncros!

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
