    Managed to catch it in 5 locations today. Clan Line looked superb as usual. Might post a couple shots once I've load them onto my PC.

    Had a good trip. Saw lots of spotters out the window and stations and fields. The coaches are wonderful, and the food excellent. We were in Audgrey fourth from the engine so got to hear it climbing around Dorking. I must say there were more pathing stops than any other trip i have been on. Was on time the whole time. There were 4 actors on board dressed in period costume who told stories which were quite interesting. I must say, the toilets were rather posh.

    Decided it was time to swap my trainspotter's anorak for something a little smarter, raid the bank and take my dearest wife who has put up with 10 years of my anorak activities out for a treat. For once she actually approved - "We should go on this one every time" she said "it's miles better than Steam Dreams!"
    She has expensive tastes my better half!

    Great afternoon out anyway - smoked salmon and lentil soup in particular were great. And Clan Line wasn't bad either. Best of all they left the oily diesel behind at Grosvenor Bridge rather than dragging it around the Surrey Hills!
