Hi All
Over the last three days we’ve taken part in the VSCC Light Car event in Llandrindod. The Metropole Hotel base is just 1/2 mile from us so it would be churlish not to!
The event was billed as a ‘Centenary Celebration’ of the 1924 RAC Light Car trial and the two tours were arduous replicas of the period event. Friday saw Liz and I do 120 miles south to Senni and Brecon through forestry, steep hills and nail biting descents. We chickened out of the full Saturday tour via Bwlch y Groes to Bala and Vrynwy at Llanbrynmair and came back along the main road. Still a decent 80 mile trip. I helped marshal at one of Sunday’s muddy hills.
Of the 150 or so pre 1931 unmodified cars present were a sizeable number of Sevens. The morning departure on Saturday was quite a spectacle.
Here are a few photos we took on route.
Cheers
Howard
