29th December Mince Pie Special - Dartmoor Railway

Well I thought my train spotting/travelling was finished for 2011 but I managed to bag a winning loco and another 20 miles in!

A day off and my wife wanted to go to Exeter. I managed to convince her that whilst she was shopping I would pop over to Okehampton and take a trip behind 47701. There are rumours the owners want to move it away so this was good.

Due to high winds during the night and a fallen tree the driver was late so the first train to Meldon Quarry didn't run. Instead the timetable started from Okehampton and went to Bow. This was fine. I did the trip to Bow and back. Another 20 odd miles and a winner in the book.
