    Bornholm Beach WA

    My old stomping grounds during the late 1970's. I do recall pulling a victim out of there with my 2 door Range Rover at the request of the local police.

    Bornholm Beach: Conquering Western Australia's toughest four-wheel drive track - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    this should work

    Thanks for posting , Bornholm is only a few k's down the road, great spot , good fishing and I've also had to pull a few out, 10 psi and never had a drama .
    There are 2 tracks towards the bottom , one called the suzuki track as apparently that was the only thing that could do it back in the day. ( not any more ).
    It can get pretty chopped up in summer with the redneck brigade in the holidays

    The Discovery 3 in the pic used to be mine , Laurie has had it for a couple of years now

    Anyone down this neck of the woods that wants to give it a try is welcome to get in touch and if i'm not spinning spanners I'm happy to pilot one of my landies for back up

    Not wanting to Hijack the thread, but...

    This pressure caught my eye. I'm a bit dated but used to do lots of sand driving back in the 70's & ran about 14 as a lowest I would go. Once or twice I had to go to 12 PSI on the old Series Landies 7.50x16's but spun the tyre around once at that pressure- they had tubes. So 10 PSI is reliable due to low profile tyres ?? Can't see being tubeless as a factor, would it be?

    Did this way back when the Rangie was alive...
    255/85/16 BFG mud terrain down to around 15psi, Detroit locked Salisbury and lots of rear suspension travel got us out fine. That 4bd1t helps too..😎
    The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
    The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈

    Hi DeeJay
    Yes , I should maybe have said anything from Discovery 1 alloys on , as they have a very tight interference fit between the beads and rim, which can upset some tyre shops but makes it very hard to spin a tyre at low pressures , obviously some discretion is involved wrt load , terrain, power required etc . The pressures you were using were spot on for 750/16 or 85 section tyres
