Grand Day Out 2019
Dana Neal has sent a report on The Grand Day Out to Welshpool Railway and some photographs from from Stuart. Eddy
Last Sunday, Mick Leach led us on a "Grand
Day Out", destination: the interesting and picturesque Welshpool
Railway.
As always, Mick's route was excellent, we were treated to some
fascinating scenery, not least of which was a direct result of my
stupidity in taking half of the party into the wrong cafe at Prees
Heath for breakfast.
This was not without compensation, as one of the lady cooks was
utterly hypnotic, so I didn't get too badly grumbled at!
There were two lovely surprises in store at Welshpool, firstly
Brendan and Mrs. Walsh met us there and traveled on the train with
us, plus Mick had reserved a carriage just for us!
The experience of riding on this little railway, in a carriage full
of friends and like minded companions was simply brilliant, thank
you very much Mickl!
Mick's chosen route home took us through Ironbridge Gorge into rural
South Staffordshire to stop for a break in Brewood at a nice pub.
I believe around seventeen of us were on the expedition, but I may
be corrected over that.
Stuart took some pictures and has shared them with us.
