Tyres deflated and we hit the dunes. It has been some time since I drove a manual in the sand, but with the diff-lock on, the Disco performed rather well.
Unfortunately when following JW, I stopped in the wrong place, and had to be winched out, after which JW and I swapped vehicles and I drove the 110 for a bit, which had a total different character from the Disco. Never got into third and probably spent more time in first.
Roger was having some problems with low ratio, and JW had a puncture on the 110 after we swapped again. Add to that we were driving around mid-day and the light was such it was difficult to read the sand (no shadows), sometimes when JW disappeared over a couple of dunes I had no idea which direction he took because his tracks were almost invisible.

Naturally I managed to cross axle the Disco and JW came to the rescue.
