trucks on the beach

Postby bobbinsjob on Fri May 25, 2012 7:19 pm

Does anyone know of any beaches in Essex or Kent areas where trucks are allowed onto the beach?

I'm only asking as I'm thinking of organising a FOG day at the beach for the SE members during the summer, same as the woolley backs do :lol: :lol:

Used to be able to take them on at Seawick (near Clacton). Haven't been there for years but streetview shows beach parking in 2009 (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=jaywic ... 03,,1,5.85)

Apart from that, there is the broomway in Southend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iliv7bqzrsc). Excellent offroading too :roll: :lol:
