    Leave WEYBOURNE STATION and head south for about 50 yards over rail bridge. Turn right along footpath running parallel to line to Holt. Follow path up to Kelling Heath halt and hen about 300 yards beyond station path divides at bottom of steep hill. Take a right up steep path. Photo location is at top of incline. About 10 - 15 minutes from station. Windpump crossing is another 5 minutes further on.
    Enjoy. =P~

    No, it was 'fantastic weather' for about thirty minutes - still got three trains in the sun during that time so can't complain too loudly

    Corpusty - I took it on the Society coach tour this morning. This trip was one of the best £8's I've ever spent. Adrian Vaughan is a fountain of M&GN knowledge!

    Did you or anyone else take any photos of the ex Grt Yarmouth d/d car 66 that was there only on Sunday. If so I would be very pleased to see them.

    I bought this bus from Jack Mulley of Ixworth way back, and it was this vehicle that in due course that started me in the coach business. Glad to see that she has a secure home at Carlton Colville.

    T.I.A.

    The plans submitted for the carriage cottage at Holt are available on the NNDC website here;

    https://www.northnorfolk.org/planni... &add= &dec=PENDING

    For some reason this part of the councils website has a lot of down time so you might need to try it later on if it doesn't work.

    That should give you most of the information required other than whos funding it.

    What a day yesterday. Such incredible sunshine from dawn through to about 14.00. Made the B1 and Quads look superb
