You'll have sand and dirt in the cluth fork release bearing (or spigot bearing what ever you want to call it.) When the clutch is out it will spin coz it'll jus touch the pressure plate and make noise like any bearing with dirt in them. THen the clutch is in there is pressure on the bearing and it wont make noise. It'll be ok to drive like that but over time it will get worse and eventually the bearing will make noise all the time, this is the time to pull the gearbox off and replace it. The problem wont be with your clutch so there is no reason for it to slip while driving.
