As I said on my previous upload (which you can't see because it's family-only, due to privacy concerns with the photo itself), I've decided to do something so dastardly, so sinnerly, that it might break the Internets -- I've decided to post pictures from my most-recent trip instead of working through older trips first...!!!!!!!!!

Our 2026 roadtrip began in a smoky sky, courtesy of climate change. A few hours later, we were driving through rain. It was our first substantial roadtrip in Ally's car, and her Bluetooth wouldn't connect to our phones, so we brought this speaker, which worked quite well.

GWR 4-6-0 7819 Hinton Manor returns from Aberystwyth and is seen leaving Dovey Junction on 2-8-87.

This was during the first season of steam returning to the Cambrian.

Whilst I had a walking or lineside permit I always found the staff at Dovey Junction to be friendly and open to reasonable requests for access.
