40 years ago when I was young and agile, and tourist attractions were
not surrounded by safety fencing.

For a millennium ships came to grieve on these rocks surrounding the
south west tip of England.

The light houses are a kilometre out to sea from here.

4 28am, in the gloom before dawn, the first of the Australians who were to become known as the ANZACs, landed on Ari Burnu, now known as Anzac Cove, on 25 April 1915. Within a week 2,000 would be dead, within 8 months 8,141 would be dead and another 26,111 would be wounded. This was Gallipoli.

At 14,110 feet on Pikes Peek – the most challenging road I have even driven – no guard rail and 5,000 feet down.

The first land speed record set on these salt flats was in 1914 at 142.8mph.

That record now sits at 763.035mph – jet thrust driven.

This is the current wheel driven record holder at 458.440 mph-
a mile in 7.85 seconds. One pass was at over 470 mph

In May 1953 a Triumph TR2 achieved 124.9 mph
on the Jabbeke Highway in Belgium
This TR2 was trying to emulate that success in Belgium.
Driven by Mike McGee it finally achieved 115.482
