Life's a beach
We had a stop at the beach, then continued along the beach until we had to head inland again, where we came across an American couple in an oldish Land Cruiser on their own having become stuck and managed to get out but not feeling too happy about things. Were they glad to see us! Although a few of us fell foul of the soft sand including myself.

From here we headed over some more dunes then back onto the beach where we came across some guys having problems with a boat. Dave offerred some assistance, which although delaying us, paid off as we were on the wrong track and the local guy guided us in the right direction.
More beach driving
We were now travelling across a flat featureless plain, with barely a landmark in sight and it was getting late with sunset at around 5.30pm. We would not even reach our refuelling stop at Haay never mind making it to the Petrified Forest, and soon we had to come off the track and pitch our tents.
