    Sun was in short supply for the weekend, wet with drizzle and wind on Sunday. Here is a selection from all three days, all from riding except a short walk to Norvis Bridge on Saturday in an attempt tp get 5029 in forecasted afternoon sun, which didn't appear!
    Part 1 and Part 2 follows:

    563's return by road to Swanage Railway metals today appears to have been delayed until tomorrow (24th).
    Hope the 'old lady' performed well during the Gala over the Somerset grades.

    A 500 miles journey (one way) to this Gala and it was worth it!

    The weather was a little bit more cloudy than expected but it was still a fabolous Gala.

    Of course 5029 and 563 were great the West Somerset and 7828 stole the show!
