RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2011 Saturday 10 September saw me getting up and heading down to Trimley to catch the 70 working, running a bit later than I hoped , I stopped at Westerfield to catch the working, then down to Trimley station, I was intending to move to a more country spot but got chatting with a local enthusiast so hung around, I then headed to Chippenham Junction, a bit of a walk to this spot, and I left my 300mm lens in the car - Doh !, after that I headed to the March/Ely line for a couple of engineers before heading home.
