Wheels Next The Sea 2015

The seventh Wheels Next The Sea show is on Sunday 21st June 2015 at the playing field on Beach Road, I know its only February but as we all lead busy lives it should give time for arrangements to be sorted. Something to look forward to anyway just need to sort out a reason/excuse/scenario as to why the bike is required on that day.................atb Steve

Went a couple of years back. Lovely day out, with one of the best chippys in Norfolk situated down by the harbour.

Oh no..! Mega-clash.

I'm hoping to be sitting in the Ring of Brodga waiting for the Midnight Sun on that day (The Solstice).

Yes Wheels-Next-the-Sea is a fabulous event, lovely atmosphere...We all had a good day last year. A definate for the Norfolk Calendar.

We must have our Winter meet up before Spring!

Who fancies the Lessingham Star on Sunday Lunchtime?

As the UK is surrounded by sea, which particular bit are you planning on being beside?

.. Is the correct answer...

I was born there. The chappie who organises Wheels-Next-The-Sea is the local Bobby. We were best mates at Primary School....Haven't seen him for well over fifty years!....Will be a strange reunion one day.

Just realised that this is only two weeks away, on the 21st June.

http://www.wheelsnextthesea.com/

So still time to make a note in your dairy....Plenty of daylight for long rides home...It's the Solstice..

As well as being the local bobby, the organiser is a Scout leader and also Second Cox on the Wells Lifeboat...

This year the proceeds are going to the Wells Lifeboat Shannon appeal, to raise funds for a new state of the art jet propelled lifeboat.

Entrance is a pound a wheel.........

Anybody fancy meeting up and riding to the show together like last year?

Stuck for an idea of where to meet at the moment, depending on where folk are coming from..... Any suggestions?

Weather is looking very uncertain again this year, so might be an idea to swap numbers in case of last minute plan changes.

It's looking like Sunday will be a pleasant break in the weather...Should be dry and warm with the Sun coming out for a bit, apparently.

Been looking forward to this one for a long time..Is anybody else going???...Still not too late to sort a meet and run if any one is interested..?

That would be quite some shake down run..!

If you make it I will treat you to a large portion, a buttered bap and a battered ring....That should put the colour back in your cheeks........

I will look out for you emzedder...and any one else I know..

Just checked the radar, and a large shower is on it's way over from the west.
It should get here about 9.30...So I will push off when that has passed...See you a bit later.

My daughter was watching live lightning strikes on a website last night.....Wow...Brilliant..!

The strikes appeared as red dots on a map, then a ring radiated from the strike. That was the thunder travelling out. The dot then turned yellow to record the strike.

Bloody brilliant...You could here the rumble as the ring passed over our location.

In the meantime some 1960's Lightning
