We pause from travels for an ESNG update. No working party yesterday, as we seem to have completed the urgent repairs. So we gathered at 7pm, and in the end 10 members made an appearance. However, it was one of … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 11 August 2024
A toasty hot afternoon (the following day was the hottest of the year to date), but seven regulars met to run a few trains, talk a lot, and drink tea – except Brian and I who enjoyed the flask of … Continue reading
Bexhill MRC Exhibition 2024 #2

ESNG meeting – 28 July 2024
I missed this Sunday meeting, as Maxine and I slipped off for a couple of days at the New Wine church festival, in Shepton Mallet. Most unusually, it didn’t rain there, and even 30C temperatures were preferable to mud and … Continue reading
