Caption Competition Mk III
Working in the sandbox is great if you like walking in sand , chewing sand , and drinking sand .
Guess which bucket just got filled up on the first flight , if you guessed not the money bucket you might be right .

Not a caption but last Sunday I was on South Beach at Weston Super Mare and for those who do not know this is a wide flat sandy beach and they allow parking on the beach, with notices to remove your vehicle by ( time ) of the next high tide.
This was well for us and we were away 30 min before said high tide. Driving along the front became aware they were clearing up a beach function which involved a Articulated lorry on the sand ( no plates down to spread the load ) that was in the process of digging itself in....
There was a large tow truck manfully trying to pull said lorry out the sand but truck was just being pulled back itself....Oh how we felt sorry for the driver as the tide approached. Unfortunately could not stay and see the result as we still had some 70 miles to cover to our camp site for the night...

On Weymouth Beach the 101st Boy Scout Brigade were tasked with moving the sand from over there to over here....Unfortunately that area was the location for the Crazy Golf Course.
Wait a minute!. You say you thought square blocks instead of wide skis for the undercarriage would work better on sand?

Well judging by the tracks they are attempting to walk out of the desert as a group, I think I’ve found the Navs route.
I'd walk a mile for a Camel.

I love it when a plan comes together!
