A lovely ride out with The Bern and Snail and Mrs Snail. Great weather, great scenery and great company.

Hi, Broadway station is now open, there is a station at Winchcome, Google GWSR railway for more info, the Broadway station is directly opposite the caravan club camp site, it's about 10 to 15 mins walk to Broadway, there is a camping and caravan club site at Winchcome, we have stayed at both prefer Broadway, the line runs past the site

That was quite a trek for you, all thinks considered. Thanks for lunch and riding shotgun. It was rather reassuring having a socking great maxi in my mirror. :)

My treat next time, maybe at The Bog.

You need to be there May 19 & 20 for the 'steam & ale' weekend bud (https://www.gwsr.com/Spring_Steam_and_R ... t--53.html) get an all day rover ticket ( https://gwsr.vticket.co.uk/event.php?xS ... 1dff44193d ) 20 different real ales at Wincombe then catch the train to Toddington for 10 more different ones Hic Birp, timetable here ... https://www.gwsr.com/planning_your_visi ... ables.html

Was a nice ride out bud, thanks for the company & local knowledge guy's n' gal, was most impressed the way the SH's got up Fish Hill 8-)
Found the stone circle, then the pub, another pub, the model village & remembered the wellington museum in Moreton in Marsh (only open Sundays)
Will check milage in the morning, was best part of a tidy few
