Yatton this morning, just before the rain.
Terrific photo and video! I did some filming further down the line which was quite successful.

Just up the road from Mow at Claverham...you chose wisely as the heavy shower started about the time of its arrival!
I got wet :/

I almost tried Claverham, but wasn't sure of the way. Nice shot Rich, given the murk and pervading damp. Met the rain.

Its easy once you've found the way...although if you use a SATNAV it tries about 4 different routes. Just out of curiosity I tried it yesterday and it took me THE longest route possible.
Assuming you are coming in off the M5, if you head through Kenn and take the sharp left hand bend, about 300yds after is a small road on the left - Ham Lane
http://g.co/maps/tf47x. It looks like you are entering someone's drive as it has drop curbs, and the bridge is pretty much straight on from there (about 3miles)
http://g.co/maps/bs4c3. Just saves going through Yatton and Claverham.
Early morning the sun is about 2o'clock so not ideal, but on a day like yesterday...sun
Be aware there are some serious ditches either side of the road and its narrow (with passing places) and it gets quite bouncy in places.
Its a bit more convenient than Mud Lane down the line. The last time I was at Mud Lane, the farmer was bleating on at me about this that and the other and how I scare his cows...plus its very bad in poor weather.

All of your shots/film clips are better than where I was filming. I was on the footbridge by the site of the old Malago carriage sidings. As 70013 was about to pass an HST passed in the opposite direction. The sound and filming were ruined. Oh well, at least it gives me a good excuse to go out to see the next steam charter. <BJ>
