90 years since sir malcolm campbell set a new land speed record of 150.76 mph on pendine sands.the national motor museum, beaulieu, are recreating the event with a low speed pass, on pendine sands where the record was set.......couldn't miss this so booked the day off work and going to enjoy some of the welsh roads and whitness an event that may well never be repeated, well not for another 10 years anyway :lol
event takes place at 4 pm, iam making a full day of it , leaving high wycombe, bucks early morning, anyone want to join me ?
shame we have'nt got a foccer who lives local to the sands that could have given us the heads up :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

Yeh i've been meaning to go from mine to Carew-Amroth-Pendine.......ive been to Laugharne in the car, it's a pretty little place...then of course there is Pembrey which i havent seen any racing at but is generally a nice place for a short break in a caravan with the mountain bikes type affair.....there's allot of roads down there i havent explored yet...it's just that my bike isnt the best for that type of "exploring" and so i go North to the big, smoothe twisties.........but when i get a new bike for next year ill be getting something a bit more versatile because there's allot of places i want to see still.

I could be up for this, have to check my shift.
Women have chocolate men have bikes.....
including ones who like chocolate....
a very strange place I thought, houses and caravans all mixed together, a bit weird pendine that is.
sent from my carafan in tenby,
Friend of mine has been racing his panther there for the last couple of years!
Some say...
We visited the beach last year its big.A really long flat piece of sand obviously.Im off on the fith but have to be up at 4.30 the next day to do another lovely 14 hour shift, so im up for it but may have to leave a bit early. That is unless they change my shifts again.
a bird in the hand poops on the wrist

One, is never going to be enough.....
Paul, you have another PM.
So anyone else interested in this trip, you will need a superfast Silver Gen1 though if you want to keep up......................................................steps backs and waits for the flames
I'm planing to stay overnight in West Wales (location TBE) and take a leisurely trip back Wednesday, think Paul is going to blast back Tuesday night
Yep, I'll be coming back after the bluebird run...got stacks of work to do and I have the following two weeks off, it wont go down to well if I ask for wednesday off aswell :eek....be a late finish but worth it
ceri, I think you might of scared them off by mentioning the colour of our bikes,if anyone wants to tag along, we both promise not to go any higher than 3rd gear...even the yellow bikes should be able to keep up :pokefun
One, is never going to be enough.....
I'll be able to make this too now.
I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.

I guess you guys will be coming down the M4. I'm about 10 minutes away from J33. Let me know what your plans are and maybe we can meet en route.

Mostly A40....with detours if we see something interesting......will look at the route a bit closer , be good to meet up on the way.
