To be honest this visit was fair more interesting than the title, thumbnail and video portray. The scale and man hours and attention to detail is simply Staggering.
The museum was started by John Ahern who could see the rapid changes to the villages and he wanted to preserve as best he could what he saw before it was all lost. He did this by creating scale models of villages, cottages and lanscapes. Simply AMAZING. I would encourage anyone with even a slightly sentimental attitude and love for the land to go and see this for yourself.
Here’s a link to Dickies first ride on the new Himalayan 450
With my motorcycling I am gravitating more toward the lower powered easier and cheaper to maintain and run and handle type of motorcycling.
Who wants to go fast? Not me any more so my old 411 is just the perfect bike for me it’s all brought and paid for and owes me nothing but still does everything I need it to do.

Great Sandy-I totally enjoyed this adventure 👍
Great wee ride out and trip to the museum…. Some beautiful bikes too. That jacket of yours looks like a Keela 'Belay' smock? All the best
It was great to meet you and the guys before your ride out Sandy, brilliant video again. I'm so happy my dad is back out there with you guys after his op. X
Very enjoyable Sandy thank you for sharing
Another one to put on my things to do list, cheers guys!
That display is mind boggeling! A truly amazing thing!
A nice ride out with good friends on their classics.
Thanks, Sandy!
Wow! Definitely looks like worth a visit hard to believe one person made it the dedication to achieve something like that impressive. Thanks for taking us along Sandy. Like the bike ride videos brings back some lovely memories. Miss my bike.
1954 Triumph what a Beauty.
Great ride out…. a slow pootle round the rural lanes👍
Well done Sandy for another great record of the day we went to Pendon.
I am sure it will inspire some of your viewers to go and visit the museum. As you say that your cameras don't do it justice. You have to be there to see all the incredible attention to the details of all the landscaping and buildings.
Great video Sandy 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍👍👍
Excellent video, really enjoyed the bike trip out, model railways are a favourite of mine, and that one was a beauty, thank you so much for taking me there!
Many thanks Sandy
You said all the right things about your Himalayan, that’s what motorcycling is all about, and motorways who wants them when your touring, they weren’t always there we all travelled on A and B roads, that’s where the scenery and history is.
I couldn't help but notice the baby swing in the backyard. Is that for your grandchild?
Now there must have been a man with a lot of time on his hands 😳 long wittenham clumps sandy I believe your right it was an old hill fort. Walked up there a few times many moons ago. 👍😉
I think Rod Stewart would be in his element! Thanks for the video Sandy.
Good to see your chipper old self again, Sandy. We are having the same problem as you with the veg, ah well, there's always next year.
The hill is Wittenham Clumps…. two hills, the hill with an iron age hillfort on is Castle hill the lower of the two hills. Spectacular views and site of the poem tree. Worth a visit 👍
Thanks for the video. This was a very special one in my opinion. 👍👍
