Title: Where were Finn, bobm and I, 11th May 2019? Post by: JayMac on May 11, 2019, 21:00:47 A day out for eight legs in the glorious May sunshine.
Where have we been?

Correct. Anyone care to guess where precisely we were on the West Somerset Railway in the second picture? I'll post a trip report tomorrow with more pictures from what was a grand day out.

You and Finn were apparently stuck in a compartment on the train with a remarkably grumpy-looking bloke sitting opposite you. ::)Title: Re: Where were Finn, bobm and I, 11th May 2019?

Post by: bobm on May 12, 2019, 08:18:20 T'was a grand day out - and some brilliant weather.
Bignosemac (here modelling as bigearmac) took the opportunity to try out his new phone with some impressive results - and without the need for heavy camera bags. (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/bigear.jpg) Finn was spoilt rotten in the pub at lunch time. I also noticed that while dogsitting as his owner was making a find in a secondhand shop that having a canine companion means complete strangers come up to talk not to you but the dog! Here he is after posing for the earlier photo (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/watchet.jpg) Title: Re: Where were Finn, bobm and I, 11th May 2019?

If you look carefully you can just make out the Washford transmitters in the distance. Title: Re: Where were Finn, bobm and I, 11th May 2019?

Post by: JayMac on May 12, 2019, 21:33:47 To add to the above. If anyone's ever in Watchet I can highly recommend The Star Inn. Excellent food, and very friendly attentive staff. Particularly if you have a dog with you.
