Stock 20" tyres on the sand. (beach)

lr4,

On some of the beaches down in that area you may need to go as low as 10lbs. I know from bitter personal experience this is the only way to drive along and up the hill of Bornholm Beach. If you go that low, remember to keep the wheels as straight as possible.

Cheers

Now picture the log cut into a slice 4 inches wide but also taller and with greater diameter - picture how small the wedge now is to overcome and that the approach angle of the wood is now shallower with much better change of overcoming the wedge. Its an extreme example, but beyond doubt now that length is what you are after on the beach more so than width.

Cheers

That's very well described mate......

Thanks mate...I just realised what a poor job I did of editing my post...anyway you get the idea apart from dodgy words like change instead of chance...
