Meanwhile here's a couple more pics of mine. With added interloper.





And, if you'd like to see the crossings as they were pre-redoubling of the line between Swindon and Kemble, then here's the link to bobm's previous visit. Last time he relied on public transport. This time he was chauffeured!

So that's where we were... (it was a good lunch!).   Grin

Vale of the White Horse Inn, by any chance?  Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

What's it like? My cycling club sometimes go to Cricklade but we always go to the Red Lion, for some reason – I think it's because it has some bike racks outside and a big courtyard, but it looks like the White Hart has that too. So maybe it's just someone's favourite beer...

With apologies for the delay, have now posted pictures to the redoubling thread http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=3266.msg247794#msg247794

Meanwhile here is one to add to the interloper above.

Menu caters for most tastes.  Main courses around the £10-£14 mark.  They also offer Kangeroo, Ostrich and Buffalo steaks.

I think they only had two real ales on pumps - both Arkells.  (and a shortage of handle glasses...)
