Dave the Renegade:
That was in august 2008 John,probably about 17 stone then ( fat git ),not quite as bad as that now.We had a week at Heysham.I have been up to the Lake District and on up to Penrith a few times for te day,that was when I was dafter than I am now,mostly when I had 2 litre cars,although I have done it with the transit.Hopefully going to Weymouth this year,will be spending more time around the harbour and enjoying a pint in the evenings.
Cheers Dave.

Dave did you make it to Weymouth?
If so take a look at this VIDEO of the Weymouth Harbour Branch Line which used to run down the steets to the harbour side, love the bits were they bounce the cars out of the way.
Also there is a cracking picture HERE on Flickr
