I looked it up, it was December 30th 2007 when my late wife and I went from Toddington to Cheltenham. We got off the train at Winchcombe on the return journey and we had lunch at a pub and caught another train back to Toddington. I must do it again but it won't be the same on my own.

Tickets.

 

A great memory though, yes we went to Winchcombe as well.  Two trains came in at the same time but unfortunately both were facing backwards so it wasnt quite as effective

Nice image. I went from Toddington to Cheltenham and back some years ago, I understand they go to Broadway now. I must try it sometime.

Yes as I understand it you can go from Cheltenham to Broadway, seems like it could be a nice day out 

Very nice, Ive been there once I think, but missed the waterfall

Thanks all

That's just lovely Strav ...  gorgeous light and a really nicely composed image .. that is quite a challenge as you say ...  do tell us more ...

It was after a trip to Purton Ships Graveyard and we wandered further down to the docks but of course by that time the view was into the sun.  The way I often deal with it when filterless is using exposure compensation 

Well caught, nice shot 

Couple of great shots there, well done .... Ive never been good at catching birds in flight myself 

Its difficult to catch the front of Southwell without getting converging lines but looks like you were far enough away to avoid that - Nice shot 

Nice one, Ive been to the minster, but not inside.  I guess you may be using a Canon?  Ive taken a shot at 25600 in complete darkness of Mevagissey quay and although the background detail was a bit messy, the main boat subject was fine.   Normally in darker indoor places I'll go up to 6400 and that usually does it and I dont get noise around that level

Taken by the River Severn looking towards the Severn Bridge 

Great catch, well done 

Lovely shot, nice reflections 

I lived in deepest Warwickshire in the 60's and remember opening our front door to a wall of snow 

Nice set, albeit depressing after all this rain  

Lovely shot, nice reflections - hope everything went as well as it could do 

Lovely set 

Well done, I went to Iceland for over a week and didnt see it  

Very nice, lovely colours

Very nice! Did they have any Aero 8s there? 

The name rings a bell, now you mention it so maybe yes.  I was fairly confused by the end as there are so many models

Really lovely. I think I've been there; is it somewhere near Warwick?

Between Solihull and Warwick, yes 

I felt sure I'd posted these on here, but searching shows nothing so it must be my age

A guided tour recently, never going to be able to afford one of these .... hugely expensive 

I dont think Ive posted these before, taken a while ago at Baddesley Clinton.

I'm not sure why he looks surprised 

Nice shot
