Tam can l ask what wax you used as the one l use needs a lot of buffing up after having been applied, surely you didn't buff that up in the heat. :unsure:

I used farecla g3 finishing wax ....same stuff i used in the trade years ago and what most bodyshops use. Its very easy applied and buffed and it actually helps when its warm .....12 inch square at a time

Weather has changed today sadly and its been raining since i woke up ....rain and sand means its just a mucky mess outside now and its due to be like this till tomorrow evening......so im contemplating moving as i need lpg and some shopping. ...but not sure where too. My next stop was going to be Elea again for 4 or 5 days then olympia and then some waterfalls a little further up .....last 11 days now so gotta make the most of it.

Well i arrived back at Elea beach today where it all began back in November .....what a difference! Where there was 100-150 vans in November theres now maybe a dozen spread over the length of the beach .... I attempted to reverse in to a nice secluded spot and got myself well and truly stuck ..
20210302_161354.jpg


Fortunately due to some helpful other van owners and a united nations approach ...2 polish , 1dutch and me we managed over the course of 2 hours to jack and dig it out ....ending up in total with a 10 -12 metre trench as it just kept sinking ....left quite a mess in the sand but out eventually and parked up .

I'm not sure the Shenanigan authorities will accept it as a valid reason to overstay the 90 days :unsure:...

Glad you got out. None of those Unimogs about to tow you out?
Memo fit a winch to the front of the new bus.

The quest for the perfect spot. Killed a couple of hours. :giggle:
The ground was reasonably firm too till you stopped then it just gave way ... But im glad those guys were around or id have really been in the doo doo

Ha ha no probably not.


No trucks here now they all seem to be heading to turkey etc ...just a few small vans and a couple of motorhomes here now.

A winch may well be on the cards ...i already planned to fit all terrain tyres to it

Its not hard with these motorhomes couple of wheel spins and the lockers are on the ground ..had to dig under then jack it up and stick tree branches under ...but then you'd move 4 feet and dig in again ....4 times we had to jack it up and pack it with branches

Bread crates is the usual response...

...but perhaps, in all seriousness, given your liking for parking on a beach - perhaps some sand ladders might be considered essential kit?
