Opposite page, clockwise from top: Land Rover technicians were on hand to help clear the underbelly of
accumulated sand. Keeping the tank filled with 50ppm, courtesy of TopUp. After 24 hours, the trip meter ticked
over to 533km. Looking for a fresh line in the sand. Above: The sound of nearby waves, a gentle breeze, the engine
purring. It was the perfect time to set a world record.
