So this probably isn't a big deal for most people.... but for me it is! 
For years I have wanted to ride on the beach but for several reasons (confidence, distance etc) have never been able to fufill this desire.
Guess what I spent my boxing day doing... 
And Billy was an absolute Angel  (abeit a little strong...  )
Our trip also featured a spectacular "handbrake turn" thanks to a stream appearing out of nowhere during our little blast a long the sands  well obviously billy had no choice but to head in the other direction immediately, just incase...

Am I the only one who wants to kiss Billy all over I am lucky enough to have had lots of beach rides, living by the sea, and my rule was, when out of control, head for the soft sand
Well done Pheebs |

Susie we had similar issues with my boy, after a few minutes of coaxing I got him to the waters edge and a wave started swirling towards his feet and we spun and leaped just in case it was going to eat us
