    Light rain forecast for Bristol tomorrow morning, cloudy for Taunton and Plymouth and light rain for the arrival at Par.
    An improved forecast for the return, cloudy but dry. Fingers crossed for a successful tour. <BJ>

    I've never met Mr. free2grice, but he appears to be every bit a biased against Bulleids, as Spamcan 81 is biased for Bulleids.

    Sounds a pretty good way of misspending one's youth but is watching Spamcans really misspending it? :)

    I'm not blind to their shortcomings but some of their shortcomings are somewhat exaggerated by some people. Anyway, Gresley locos are really the best. :)

    Just watched Tangmere climb Hemerdon in mist and drizzle. A few slips on the way but made it ok. Video to follow.

    Return working delayed 27 minutes at Exeter, although I gather from the station staff this was due simply due to low water pressure in the hydrant in Station Road being used to refill the tender.

    The person 'hit by train' incident at Worle doesn't seem to have caused any delay.

    Here’s my video from today, taken first at Powderham. Then at Tigley, a slow but steady climb up Rattery due to a slow run through Totnes. On the return the video is taken at the top of Hemerdon, where the rail conditions were bad due to mist and drizzle.
