| 83 forum posts 8 photos | Good morning all, and sorry that it has taken so long for me to get back onto the net and thank this community for sir friendly advice and input. i had a great month and several stops with engineering flavour. i did spend a somewhat damp day in Basinfstoke at the traction rally. Excellent welcome from all, a short ride (actually my first) and good conversation every time it stopped. The indoor exhibition was also fun, and very social. the following day I spent many hours in the technology museum in London and looked at both the team galleries and the clocks. The big mill engine was running and the two engineers very friendly. other highlights were the Falkirk wheel, a full size engine near the Dalwhinnie distillery ( it was running and I only guessed it was coming from the people standing waiting on a bridge over the track. Most amusing was the conversation about the fires it caused running in summer - that is unbelievable to an Austrailian.) and finally a walk up the towpath beside the lock stair in Bath. overall, a very good selection and top people everywhere. thanks again |
