Help a similar guy on Staddie years back. On a calm day they drove down to water’s edge and went for swim etc. What they failed to notice is they had parked out on a sand bank. As the tide came in it filled the gutter and the escape route. They didn't realise till the water was at the tyres.

The issue was they got to where they were at road pressure (40psi) and now the sand was under water it was too soft.

1st instinct for most people would be to floor it and get out. They only went in one direction, DOWN.

Luckily they had many people on the beach to help empty the tray, whilst we dump almost all the air out. Still needed 3 snatches end to end to get enough hard sand under mine to pull him out.

The water was up to the door handles by the time we got him out.

pic 1 shows a nice drop off with water nice and close
Pic 2 shows nice flat sand with water 2000klms away
Pic 3 flooded - they missed the water coming from that far out?

3 different days and 3 different locations?

If you look at the photo's closely, they look real.

Pic 1 - Shows landscape to the left of the vehicle

Pic 2 - Shows landscape to the right of the vehicle.

Also note the sun location and also the way the tray sides are sitting. All the same.

As they were fishing down the bank they did not realise the tide coming in from behind them as well?? Probably at a sand point (like inskip) with a fishing channel.. it is understandable. mabey, im just guessing after a close inspection!!

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED??

Cheers
