They do make nice burgers.
A suggestion for Mr Boulter if there's a next time... Try a new meaty item on the club menu.

While visiting near a well known ATW▸ station with lots of letters I managed to photograph this Gwiwer Goch.

Time for another challenge, methinks: This one was taken during a very pleasant stroll with the Squirrel Family. But where were we?

I'm tempted to suggest that you were in Cornwall on your way up to Caradon ... |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

I've little idea what Shirehampton looks like these days. Not used it in months.
Avonmouth is my preferred 'home' station now following changes to bus routes.

Knowing how I work on clues, you have me playing with anagrams and looking at "Luxu.." wondering if you were near Luxulyan. I do recall an ancient railway / plateway across cornwall in that neck of the land. Am I warm? |

Technically I think they call this type of clue a 'charade' on CAR + MEAR (from 'mearby), but I'm not waiting for a call from the Times crossword dept any time soon. Yes, you're pretty much there: It is the Luxulyan Valley; specifically the Carmears Tramway, close to where it crosses the Newquay branch on the Treffry Viaduct. A really beautiful neck of the woods, and a walk I'd recommend to anyone who likes a bit of industrial archaeology (which I imagine includes most of us here). I found it remarkable that some rails were still in situ. Details are here: http://www.luxulyanvalley.co.uk/notices/carmears-path/ |
