Is this run on Pendine sands? Looks a right hoot and one meeting I’d love to attend.

I promised myself to go this year (just to spectate obviously) but then annoying life stuff got in the way.
Those photos are great, they really show the difference between a proper photographer with an artistic eye for composition and the rest of us who just point and press.

Thank you David, for doing the linky stuff. She has an amazing eye and captures the spirit and action so well.

Cool pictures that could have been taken 70 years ago. This is 40 minutes from my door step so I try to go every year. If you’ve never been, it’s well worth the journey. The car park on the beach is usually stacked with retros too.

jonsey Mamgu a Thadcu on my wife's side lived in Red Roses for a bit so we spent a lot of time at Pendine and went to a few of the early meetings Unofficial gatherings. The photo's are a step above the point and press. There was a big photo display in the museum when Babs was off doing the rounds early days of the museum and this had lot of Random photos in period from the 20's to early Eighty's. As it was promoted by the museum it was obviously biased towards speed. But i can't shake the feeling that a lot of what i see in recent years compared to long ago just misses the grassroots nature and focus on speed. When the council opened the beach back up for events it was about getting runs in and then everything else that came with that. Where as now it seems to me a bit more about the look. I 'm probably well in the minority and the event is superb and a real credit to its organisers. I have no idea how much a rig would cost these days but presume they are not as assessable as they were and what are the options for the youth of today?
