Brakkeduine - South Africa - Pictures - Video Added
This is a sand trail in South Africa. The Disco 3 and I did battle on the first obstacle after some practice we improved. All in all I think it faired very well. Once the nut behind the wheel worked out what he was doing. Rockcrawl mode, DSC off, and third gear low range seemed to work the best, tyres 0.8bar. Was a bit low pulled one off the rim eventually but was up and running in no time.

D4JWW - Correct on the tyres! The Jack was a Takla.
Tried the Sand mode she seemed to-do better in the rock crawl mode ie: Diffs Locked if they were, who knows only the disco3 would. Perhaps it was just the mindset of the driver that changed.
