Another volvosportuk exclusive, I have been offered rare access to take cars on to the famous Pendine sands (first 500yds) for a photo opportunity, if there are enough people interested.
I have actually been given permission to organise a high speed event at a later date using all 8 miles. There is also the museum of land-speed in Pendine, again if enough people are interested I can see if a group discount is available. It would be a slow convoy, so no silly driving as it's sort of a road (it is a very complicated situation and difficult to organise use of the sands) £7 per car is the charge to use the sands and low tech filming, absolutely no drones!

Did it happen or will it happen ? If not happened yet, when ? I'm not far away |

I've decided to cancel as there wasn't enough interest and costs to hire the sands access needs to be covered.
