Lunch at black rock sands

View attachment 31907

Hey! We've just moved up to Wales and were thinking of checking that beach out tomorrow! Husb heard some folk in the barbers talking about camping on the beach out of season and we thought it sounded like a must. Did you sleep there, or just lunch?

See you there come rain or shine!

Hey verity. We went for the day, but there was a couple next to us in a Westy that had been there the two previous nights. They paid a fiver a night apparently. No hook up obviously but the view of the ocean. Wow.
We have planned to go back soon and stay a few nights. Well worth it and we found it by accident! There are also a few places near us going up towards Southport, formby and ainsdale beaches however I’m unsure if bedding down for the night is allowed.

There should definitely be a club meet organised on black rock beach before the summer is out for us northeners ​

I see you have roof bars, do you ever use a roof box or is it for something else, intersted as have a roof box for my other car was unsure about using on California as wondered if roof will stay open with Box on if empty?

I use the roof bars for my kayak and canoe, there shouldn’t be an issue with the roof staying open if you keep within the Load limit which from memory is 60Kg..

I got the low profile aero bars from the club shop, I haven’t noticed an increase in wind noise, but I think some car parks will now be an issue..

Vinyl wrap?

Yes, oryx white with matte metallic red wrap.

Sounds like air in the hydraulics to me. Should be a simple enough job for your mechanic. We had the same thing happen on a VW Passat TDI we once owned.

As I understand it, its a hydraulic clutch (no old fashioned cable) and shares the same master cylinder - i.e. the brake master cylinder, as both require an incompressible liquid for them to work. Saves VW fitting two master cylinders when they can get away with one for the sake of some extra pipework. I had a similar problem on an Audi but same components... it was the hydraulic master cylinder just outside of warranty - it was £3k with labour & vat, I argued that it was a defect given the close proximity to warranty and Audi paid for it!
Good luck but sounds expensive !

We made it to Black Rock Sands. Amazing place. Almost deserted today. Lovely expansive sands. We had burgers for lunch followed by cups of tea and wagon wheels. What could be better?

After a busy day working as a consultant visiting three customers I had lunch at 17.00 before a school meeting.
The cali is my safe haven and offers a non stressful place.

Great pic- what a place to have lunch on a work day! Similar to you albeit with a few more people around in West London, oh and no river, with a lot more cars however... its still a very mellow place to sit and work listening to the birds singing so I’ll take all I can get. I love mobile office life!

At least I've got blue sky!

Obviously the roof corrosion is pretty well advanced in that model!

Yesterday we cruised all day on the Norfolk Broads. Today, enjoying Cromer Crab, prawns and Sauvignon Blanc for lunch. Meanwhile Taudu’s enjoying a chew whilst drying out in the sun after two days of swimming. Heaven!
