Reverse a short distance along your original tracks where the sand is already compacted - until you can see the end of your tracks from across the wheel. Go forward from here. By the time you get to the "ledge" and fresh sand, you'll be up to speed. Don't know about taking "little pieces of wood", but always take a bucket - collapsible camping type, if you do not have space. Mind you, if you're fishing, you'll probably have one anyway. If you're stuck in DRY sand and you're desperate enough, collect buckets of water from the sea - should be quite a short trip by now ![]() Ever noticed how you tend not to sink into the sand when it is wet? |

Well, it's been a long time since I started this thread with my tale of woe. But two weeks ago I went out on the sand for a second time having followed all of the tips I've received. The LR2 performed flawlessly. It was a pleasure and lots of fun!

Some additional advice I heard about; tie the ramps to the back of the car so you dont have to stop or go back for them.

I was reading through some of the older posts and came across this one and thought I might add my 2 bobs worth .Depending a little on how the fl2 is bogged in sand GOE LR training suggest that the sand ramps be used diagionaly opposite and let the trs system do its job ,also try putting the trs into mud and ruts and reverse out .When in sand the dsc should always be turned off because when driving in soft dry sand a little bit of momentum is needed and if the dsc thinks the vechicle is unstable it starts applying the brakes to stabilise the situation and as Mike said brakes = bog
