Bogged in the UAE desert

Yesterday took a trip out in to the UAE desert. Howling sand storm and the sand was very a soft. Our driver was an ex rally driver and it's showed. Had an amazing time and when he knew that we were 4WDers we got a couple of specials.
Ended up bogged for about 20 minutes and he used the clutch only to eventually move the vehicle.
Jen (wife) sat in the back seat and said it was a great trip and being out in the desert with no one around (too windy I would say) was so peaceful

Fantastic experience.

Was out in a V8 Landcruiser in Sharjah and one of the cars ripped a tyre of in deep sand.

A bottle jack and a block of wood and all was fixed!
