Will you be out and about?

I think I might be at Keynsham at about the right time.

(however, having had to go out today means my timetable is all over the place now and I may not go out until Friday! My job is confusing sometimes..)

Hmm well I was planning to go to Keynsham and check out that footbridge...might see you there, might not!

I got lots of pics of the footbridge...not many train ones because the dull light and drizzle messed everything up...lots of blurs!

It doesn't half shake when an HST goes past too!

Travelled back in a 158 called "Isambard Kingdom Brunel". It had no power in the rear car and all the lights and air conditioning were off...great fun in No. 3 and 2 tunnels!

Brunel himself is probably spinning in his grave though!

You can steal the photos but you can't make good captions for them

"The footbridge that is sited along a footbridge from Durley Hill, Keynsham"

They're all in the wrong order too...I arranged them especially to be a walk over the bridge from north to south

My captions tell the full story

That's cheating that is

Six weeks worth of school holidays now! Lots of staying inside during work hours. I shall go crazy

Just nicked another of your pics:

used it to experiment with a new template system to drive that website. It's taken me ages, but it finally looks okay!
