OUR VISIT TO WOODY BAY ON THE LYNTON AND BARNSTAPLE RAILWAY 19 OCTOBER 2020

[@schutendohkji548]

Ur wifee Val must really love that dark blue plump handbag at 11:21. She won't trade it in for a 300Bp one. The Tuscan red tabs look new however. Thx for the interesting coal gondola switching action. Those steam locos r sure hungry for them rock cookies!!! Спасибо из США

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

She has progressed to a different bag now! Still half full with things she doesn't really need to carry around!

[@schutendohkji548]

@@ADMIRALSCORNER Oh, funny. OK, i guess u'll have to carry the other 1/2? And if the new one is much nicer n much smaller, guess who needs to carry the other 1/2 or even 2x more than the 1st bag ... ? I carry man's handbag as my pants pockets r too small even for my fat wallet. But i always like to have a camera. It's called Weixier Crossbody Bag 4 men. It's just big nuf to carry: 1. Camera 2. Wallet 3. ChkBk 4. pens n mech. pencil 5. coins 6. Tissues , plastic spoon, fork ... 7. Has a nice long (bought separately) strap to cross over my shoulder: A lot of guys (4) have asked me where i bought it (below), sorry for the long on-line address. I dont like dark color bc. it gets too hot in Summers so mine is a light tan. The price is cheap but u must buy more than $25 worth at a time there, Temu.com: www.temu.com/crossbody-bag-mens-shoulder-bag-vintage-leather-vertical-hand-business-mens-casual-leather-bag-satchel-bag-for-men-g-601099512421677.html?top_gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.kwcdn.com%2Fproduct%2FFancyalgo%2FVirtualModelMatting%2Fdc0f7e8f7d0b35cd52d1805bd9dc6bbc.jpg&spec_gallery_id=7525904&refer_page_name=bgn_verification&refer_page_id=10017_1712524336012_19ywcubvic&refer_page_sn=10017&_x_vst_scene=adg&_x_ads_sub_channel=feed&_x_ns_prz_type=-1&_x_ns_sku_id=17592192327753&_x_ads_channel=google&_x_gmc_account=647900107&_x_login_type=Google&_x_bg_adid=gd802215-1&_x_ads_account=3353959319&_x_ads_set=20418466757&_x_ads_id=151827198213&_x_ads_creative_id=667944117346&_x_ns_source=d&_x_ns_gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo9TV8NHOgAMVrzuzAB3GGARwEAEYASAEEgITu_D_BwE&_x_ns_placement=www.localconditions.com&_x_ns_match_type=&_x_ns_ad_position=&_x_ns_product_id=&_x_ns_target=&_x_ns_devicemodel=&_x_ns_wbraid=%7Bwbraid%7D&_x_ns_gbraid=%7Bgbraid%7D&_x_ns_targetid=&_x_sessn_id=nwkhhvbsrl Enjoyed ur video.

[@bashert4ever]

Another lovely day out by the looks of it.. You are lucky to have so many places to visit. Thanks for sharing it Mike.. wishing you and Val a happy and safe day.......

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

from Val - Thank you Sara. Wishing you and Chris happiness and healthy day. We love visiting this place just over an hour's drive away. Love to you both xx

[@MyPlonkerboy]

Think Val loves those wee trains. If I ever visit the UK again that railway is on my list to go and see. Regards Donald.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

One not to be missed Donald!

[@SBCBears]

I'll never get to see my favorite railways in the UK, but this is the next best thing. We share an appreciation of these old railways and the communities they imply.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

So sad economics forced this little railway to close so long ago. Its good that today we can at least experience this restored section.

[@peterhalse8531]

Just watched your video of Union of South Africa and 53808 at BL 3years ago. Haven't seen it before. I recognised the young chap doing the firing and the couplings on 53808. He allowed me on the footplate of Odney Manor and Pannier 7752 last year and is a nice young fella. Haven't seen him before on any of your videos. I did film while on the footplate of Odney Manor (on my phone) but it's not nearly as good as your filming. I did film 53808 later just before Christmas leaving BL after dark and was pleased how well it came out. Let you see it sometime I hope.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I do hope such kind people are still with the railway. I fear it has lost some volunteers over the the years and especially during this virus period.

[@clvskl5058]

Great video Mike , plenty of wind again i see , at least it was sunny, hope you get the same next week. Clive

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Clive. Yes lovely sunny day and beautiful Autumn colours. Mike and I are pleased you are feeling better. Love to you and Dawne xx

[@kevintoo8]

Looks like you both had another nice 'day out', thanks for taking us along with you 😀

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Kevin - you were very welcome to come along with us.

[@joannejohnson]

Nice video of your 5 trip on this nice steam railway.I like Vals Lynton and Barnstable fleece jacket I hope they will be open around Christmad

[@joannejohnson]

Sorry the message went before I finished my text. I hope the railway will be able to open for the Christmas season.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

@@joannejohnson Thanks for telling us about the BBC FILM made about the railway in 1987. I had seen that before on KZbin but enjoyed watching it again this morning and am looking forward to seeing the Part 2 that I hadn't known about before. If its as as informative as the first one, that will be most enjoyable!

[@CaseyJonesNumber1]

I was there the following day, not such nice weather though!

[@TriflingCircle]

Decided to visit on seeing your first recent visit but not got round to it yet. Just wondering. Is the telephone box operational? Is post box emptied daily?

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I didn't get to look inside the old phone box but the post box has a not in use notice on it.

[@peterhalse8531]

Very nice videos of your trip Mike and the pictures are so clear. Nice punchy little engine as well. I haven't been able to visit it yet, living in Ilminster it isn't quite so convenient, but perhaps next year. Val's still after her coffee and food then. She seems to have it all sorted.😊

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you Peter. Oh yes, you mustn't get in the way of Val's food! We did get her favourite Pizza at Blackmore Gate afterwards! I can certainly recommend it too!

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

That means there might not be any Santa Special trains to enjoy. Don't get your hopes too high.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Here's hoping for the best!
