Rob/Nick where did you get to you set off so early?
Mike.

I was steering which didn't help, but Rob had planned a visit to the pumping station, great to see the big engine running and some interesting stuff out there - well worth a visit, we were made to feel very welcome.

Help! Can anyone identify this car I photographed at the STEC road run? I think it's a Talbot?

Looking at the last picture in John's first batch it's a good job Mike wasn't burning smokey coal or Wales and the West Utilities would be after him! I guess the gas escape the signs and barriers suggest at that location wasn't too severe or we might have seen the first Allchin going into orbit.
