    Did you find the location at Upwey Matt? I managed to park in the lay by and have a walk down to the bridge then fight my way through the long grass to near the tunnel but I couldnt see much of a clear shot there. I also looked at crossing the road and going in the field I am sure where I have seen other photos from but there seemed no way of getting in there without climbing barbed wire fences! With my fiancee in tow I decided it wasn't a good option and went for the station!

    I did manage to get to it, there was a gate opposite from where you could get into that field up towards the tunnel, climb the gate and the spot is just the other side of the hill. It did a bit popular there were around 10 of us at that spot (and my dog). I think you're one of the few to have a partner who's willing to come along too!

    Yes I am very lucky! I will hopefully get a chance to head down that way again and look out for the gate, might take some steps to make the climb over easier! I look forward to you uploading your pictures!
