Pete, it's not on the beach but on the "prom" about 8 feet (2.4m) above the beach.
It felt as if the wheel was 6 inches (150mm) off the deck. The prom was just over a quarter mile and had a dog leg and toilets at one eighth of a mile.
A town Councillor complained that vehicles weren't allowed on the prom and the event (of many years) was stopped in the mid 80s and is no longer run.
Bugger that shot reminds me of cold winters and the two day a week 15 mile trip the College first year on a Yam fizz pop half a year on a xl 185 then the bonny for the next three an a half Dad never took his car test so he had a Reliant three wheeler for winter use. we had a shed full of bikes only one dad would not let me use was his AJS 500 jam pot. mum drove but took the car to work each day I only had a part time job an no money for a car and would never be seen dead in the Reliant remember coming home some winter nights thinking I was never going to make it I was so cold
It was a good Bike to me. Passed my test on it. Went all over the place. Seemed to stay upright too, even in the snow and ice. Kept it for years as a winter bike. Chromed mudguards were held together with a patchwork of aluminium patches and pop rivets. Engine rattled like a box of spanners bit it kept going. I eventually gave it away to a brave chap who restored it.
