That wasn't me! I was at the end of the platform with the wife, two kids and a big pile of bicycles.

Got myself down to Pilning this morning/afternoon good turn out...

Unfortunatly the sun was overhead right and didnt help with taking pics, also was very hazy....

Vid of DoG at Patchway. Hazy, into sun and very quiet approach. Not too pleased with the effort, as first time I've seen her since on the blocks at Bridgnorth in mid 70's when you'd never have thought she would run again. Just gives you hope for all those that are working hard to get other great engines back on the tracks.

Good vid

I know what you about the light, was very bight and hazy.

DOG was moving comming down the hill at Pilning, however not so much of a show with the steam as you sometimes see with some of runs. Still a good sight for a Sunday morning....

A couple of pics of 71000 from the road bridge after Pilning Station.

Very interesting! I shall have to go and have a look how that was done. Presumably someone's had a go at the caging with a pair of bolt cutters.

My Bella is easily recognisable in that video. As he pans up the hill a girl in a very, very bright pink dress can be seen atop someone's shoulders

How does she feel about being famous?

As long as she's paid in Easter eggs she won't mind.

I took a few today, but had Eleanor bouncing around on my shoulders so was waving the camera around one-handed! (hence why I didn't bother taking a vid!)
