    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

    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.:D

    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! :)

    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!

    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......

    @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"
