Kev, Ally and I went with Sam and Liam to Llanddona yesterday. The wind was blowing between 10-16mph up the estuary (one of my favourite directions because it makes heading upwind fun). I took the trick buggy with the intermediate tyres on along with my gps and went off into the beach.I was doing really well and managed a few upwind turns - they still feel really awkward but hopefully with time I will improve on them. The wind seemed to pick up a bit so I went for a couple of speed runs across the beach.
One run seemed to get a bit hairy (I was half sliding half rolling most of the way across the beach) and felt like I was losing control as the wind seemed to pick up further so I decided to call it a day at that and go grab something to eat. I made my way back to our base camp and checked my GPS.
Did I beat my speed record of 21.5mph? See for yourself.
