MHR Spring Gala 12-14th February 2016

Yes footpath from the road which runs parallel to the main road but only as far as the bridge. Its a bit restricted though I have used it

 

The one to catch surely as it will have to work hard

 

I'm just happy the Q is doing a spin on the freight each day - its what she was built for & will look the Mutts!

So thank you to the 'gods' on the MHR (gala planners - you know who you are.... ) for doing this.

All in all it looks to be a diverse & interesting timetable each & every day.

 

The cutting has recently been cleared of trees which allows for a much wider shot. The view is visible in my video from the autumn gala, right at the start of the video:

I haven't been to Hampshire hunt bridge for some years but from memory this location suffers from shadows at this time of year.

 

Is that about half way down The Shrave, by a lamppost, do you know? Found something that looks like a footpath on google maps, not sure though

 

Yes probably. You need to park and search. It's very narrow overgrown and muddy but not far to the line

 

A pair of gumboots wouldn't go a miss from memory.

 

Yes, it's right next to the lamp post. Overgrown is the understatement of the day!

is there a spot at the mhr that gives a view similar to the one at kinchley lane bridge at the gcr

 

I'm surprised nobodies picked up on the fact the Bulleid Brake is making its debut at the gala - can see that proving popular!

 

They have been shunting it around Alresford for the last few weeks - haven't got round to taking a photograph of it yet! It would have looked nice behind Nellie!

 

There is this shot which is a bit like Kinchley lane.

 

But that location isn't publicly accessible though (if it is were I think it is) and not easy to get to since the restructuring of the fields at Rookwood Lane

 

Neither have I - every time I have a chance - its eluded me!

Still, the shuttle combo of Bulleid Brake+ Mk1 + Milk Tank will look rather good behind 41312. ........ and even Wadebridge......

 

Yes it will!

 

And the 9F on the front of it will certainly make for some...interesting photos!

 

Ah, you noticed!

 

@Duty Druid, I'm sure I've asked this before, but does Wadebridge bow out at the end of the Gala?

 

I think the ticket runs out on 7th March, so POTENTIALLY 34007 could run on weekend of 5th/6th, but nothing is set in stone....best come to the gala to get some Bulleid action (inc 34007 on "The Local"
