This is my crazy friend out jumping the carriage on the beach - lots of fun to be had out there ;)  | ||

Thank you Jane, that sounds great I can't wait! As you say though I don't want to use my good carriage. Don't you find the wheels sink in the sand too much? When we rode the beach we used to find the shallow water gave the best footing so I can just imagine what that would do to a vehicle. | ||

We drive on the beach regularly. I find as the tide recedes the sand is usually firmer. We use an old 4 wheel marathon carriage as the sand and salt will ruin a good carriage, it doesn't have pneumatic tyres. I don't put boots on as we go in the water and the sand gets down them after that.The horses love it (unless the kite surfer is there!) | ||

Does anyone drive on the beach? Having ridden the local beaches for years I am well aware of safety issues but hard flat sand would be bliss at this muddy time of year. I'm thinking pneumatic tyres would be best? What about the vehicle, a fun bug perhaps? All advice welcome. |
