    Just as a reminder, it will be pretty dark for the evening departure as the clocks go back an hour on Sunday morning. <BJ>

    A max of 73 just after Elford before slowing for Tamworth. A bit of push away from Tamworth with Wilnecote passed at 52. On the run from Water Orton we reached 61 just before Washwood Heath.
    We had a brisk run through Tyseley which aided in 71mph through Widney Manor before slowing for the restriction at Dorridge. The downhill stretch towards Lapworth meant we had a max of 75.5 along side the M40 before the brakes came on for Hatton Junction. Hopefully more of the same on the return

    Here's my footage of 45596 Bhamas roaring through the countryside in all corners of the Midlands with the Extended Shakespeare Express in beautiful autumn sunshine. I filmed Bahamas at Elford and Danzey. I hope you enjoy it.
