A short drive North from beside the Wilts & Berks Canal is Tetbury, where they have an annual Woolsack (carrying) Race, up a steep hill [https://tetburywoolsack.co.uk/]. They appear to have changed the format, it used to a be just a relay team race until one chap done well/ won(?) solo.

Quite possibly more stable than a screw steamer of similar size. The paddleboxes, projecting from the sides of the hull, tend to act as stabilizers against a rolling motion. I can't recall the name of the film set in Victorian/ Edwardian times, featuring the Waverly with Dover Cliffs in the background

Me and Mrs SM42 are on the back row. HH yet to be collected. If the ferry doesn't turn up he can push us across using his tail twirl for propulsion (and pollution) Andy That Ferry, would that be the PS Waverly from Clevedon Pier (yes I know what condition it's in - shameful) for us down sou'. See what I did there 2 threads merged into 1 post

OK, from my collection, a Wallwork 4-2-2 Cast Iron loco, Is it a representation of a Dean Single Achilles Class? If not what is supposed to be, or is it freelance? The Wallwork foundry was in Manchester. I have a mental image of an Victorian/ Edwardian boy pulling this (there are a couple of vans to go with the 6 wheel coach), around the floor, wrecking the furniture in Downton Abbey.

Sacre bleu! What part of "most large steam locos" applies? looks very smart to me

Love the 'looking on the bright side' comments & cheering from the Space X Team. I must remember the phrase 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly'.

Canal Digger - are there any manufacturer's marks on the underside of the plastic princess? Sorry but we have the builders in and such things have been put away for safe keeping. Will make a note to look when I can but don't hold your breath!

Please can you tell me, was there a plastic tender to go with the plastic Princess? From what I can make of your photos you have paired a metal tender to a plastic loco?

As you say almost impossible to say, how close to the cliff edge, how precisely you follow various headlands, how to choose where to cross a river etc, coastal erosion, ..... but you set me wondering so here goes: English Costal Path 2700 to 2800 miles depending upon source of information, so go for 2750 miles Welsh Costal Path 870 miles. The Scottish National Heritage estimated the total coastline length Scotland to be 6333 miles for a conference in 2010. Sum total 9953 miles
