We do like to be beside the sea!

TOM Arnold's Wilden MXC took to the road for rounds three and four of the British Youth Winter Championships.
Another bumper entry of riders, glorious sunshine, and the backing of the local council, especially Cank Davies who pulled out all the stops, ensured a weekend of fun on the sand at gorgeous Barmouth, in Wales.
In the Adult Open class it was always going to be a close call between Ashley Greedy and Shane Careless.
And it was Ashley who took two superb wins in Saturday's action but come Sunday, Shane completely dominated with a clean sweep as Ashley seemed somewhat detuned.
With James Dodd, Aaron Crowder, Lewis Rose and Lewis King all on the pace at times, the Open class provided some real top notch action.
Ben Mycock had a terrific weekend in the Barmouth Lifeboat Crew backed Adult 125cc section as he took all five race wins.
A tale of two different days and some misfortune in the Youth 125cc event. Jamie Jackson was riding like a man possessed and he swept all before him in Saturday's racing, but a seized engine on Sunday curtailed his weekend.
