Hello!

Something a little different for me...

They had this event on Margate beach in Kent this weekend... I went along not knowing what to expect but it was quite a lot of fun actually!

Not everyone was having a good day ***:

The bikes really were struggling actually... not because of any lack of skill, but simply because it was VERY tough!

Cracking fun :clap:

nice stuff, I like them all. Anyone who rides a bike on sand is a sadist from my experience, it's the worst stuff you can ride on.

Cheers guys - shame is that today the weather is far better... typical, I choose the wrong day AGAIN! :D

Actually, thats not totally true, I couldnt go today but could yesterday so in that respect it was the right day I chose!

Out of that selection I'd pick #3. Fast shutter speeds were definitely the way to go to capture the sand properly. Wish I'd tried that earlier on now.

Makes a change for ME to have the right shutter speed eh? LOL :D

Actually, #3 really shouldnt have made it here, I decided I didn't like that one and used this one instead - I know Gribbsy already liked this one best from my Flickr set:

Yeah it is a bit out of focus and I almost dropped it, but I just liked the action of it :D
