I guess there is a reason you should only do beach runs when the tide is going out

Very much so.
Our offroad club has been called out to rescue more than a few 4x4s at pegwell bay in kent. I'll share our experience with you, should you come across someone in distress.
We found that....
If a truck is up to it's axels and the belly is 'sucked' to the sand you aint got much chance of getting it out without a tractor or something big (or three trucks). As the tide comes in the water lifts/disturbs the distressed truck slightly and releases the suction....this is the time to pull it out.

Very good pictures you got of it!
Was there 6 months ago - it is really an empty place, not like you can count on finding anyone to tow you out. And as soon as water saturates the sand, it does become a lot more difficult to get it out.
Good reminder to always watch the tide...

- in a valley with lots of grass
Will be there in a couple of weeks - must be careful - coming round the big sand dune from the South is a bit scary as its always wet there.

Not wanting that to happen to any 4x4 'er.
Unfortunatly, it is some times a wicked learning curve.
Total write off I guess?
