Im thinking about going for a drive this weekend, either sat or sun. has anyone got any advice about the above beach (i have never been there)? would i be ok to go alone in a suzuki escudo? any parts to watch out for? should i go north or south from bayleys? anyone else want to come?
experienced driving on sand, escudo = winch, locked rear, 30 x 9.5

its an awesome place. No reason for you to get stuck on bayleys beach as there is plenty of firm sand to drive on.
Also there are lots of petrified wood lumps there that are pretty good to climb all over with the truck.
no idea on the legalities of it all but we saw no signs saying otherwise and there were millions of dirt bikes flying around.

Let us know when you might be going up. I wouldn't mind another trip up there some time.

I'm going to head up (or down) the beach on Sunday. Tides are going to force it to be an afternoon drive, probably 3pm-ish. Anyone keen to come? 027 2573757
