Thundersprint, Ty Croes, Anglesey Circuit

Today we faced the elements and went to Thundersprint, a motorbiking festival, with races, exhibits, stalls and stands. This was a new even for me, and it was new to Anglesey, but an event that had been going for a long time at a different venue. The day dawned with a light drizzle that progressed into a torrential downpour. Not much fun when you are on the back end of a motorbike... We arrived and it was raining so hard that I kept my crash helmet on for what seemed like hours, until I succumbed to a hot coffee and realised that I needed a mouth to drink coffee. I was about to give up... soaked through my bike jacket, gloves ringing wet, feet weighed down with the water, and Mike said "I think it might be getting a little bit brighter". So I hoped... Then, within a few minutes, the sky went blue... The puddles started to dry... It began to be fun, we watched bikes going round the circuit... we even spotted a couple of old bikers... Sammy Miller and Jim Redman I managed a couple of back view photos of them... Which only goes to show that I can only take photos of things that don't move.
