Pendine sands and landspeed museum meet

scvolvo · Jun 8th, 2016, 19:29

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!

Depends on the date but it sounds great.

Seems quite popular, I'll give the museum a message today.

Some of the cars are in beauleiu and can be seen if going to the beaulieu Volvo day

Museum is £2, children are free (closes for 45mins at lunch).

Access to the sand is good ferraris and Lamborghini has used it so should ok

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

Pity. Really liked the idea of driving on the sands. They go to a lot of trouble to stop people doing it. Ah well . . . . .

I'd love to go, so would my car-mad nephew, his dad can be dragged along too

scvolvo · Aug 19th, 2016, 21:30

Maybe I shall revisit this next year as I have all the contacts and an agreement in principle

Mister Rog · Aug 25th, 2016, 15:37

Good. I'll keep an eye out here. I'm only about half an hour or so away
