Pendine Sands Hot Rod Races
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:29 pm
The Vintage Hot Rod Association are holding the third "Speed weekend" at Pendine Sands, West Wales over the weekend of the 4/5th July 2015.
It looks a fantastic event, a bit like Bonneville but on the historic sands of Pendine where World Land Speed Records were set in the 1920's. Malcolm Campbell set his in a Sunbeam.
You can visit for just a day or make a weekend of it. Best place to stay is a few miles along the coast at Laugharne, The Browns Hotel has a few rooms available and there are some in the hotel next door as well, but be quick they won't last long. Laugharne is where the poet Dylan Thomas did most of his writing and Browns was where he often got ratted.
I've already booked for the Saturday night, 4th July.
Pendine is around 100 mile west of the Severn Bridge, 16 miles from Carmarthen.
