[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you very much for those kind words.

It must be lovely to stay in one of those caravans or even a camping coach at Blue Anchor.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Now there's a good idea for a holiday!

[@ronjenkijns4743]

Me and my wife had a holiday in one of the static caravans at Blue Anchor last year. We were about 50 yards from the train line and 50 yards from the beach. Best holiday we’ve ever had.

[@andrewrice6596]

@@ronjenkijns4743 that sounds lovely.

[@SingerDriver]

All those sounds and sights of steam locomotion make it really evocative Mike -just like being there !

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Al. That is what I aim to achieve, glad I have!

What a nice trip Mike .. great to see and hear the steam locos again ... and put those DM things back in the sheds where they belong .. The country side looks nice and green now .. looks like summer is here even if it's been windy and cold ... Didn't Val go with you this time ?

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Val is currently away visiting her sister so was not on this journey. It was very satisfying to ride behind steam again.

Hi Mike & Val, Lovely to see your excellent coverage of my favourite Railway whilst away from home shores! SO Vivid I can even smell the Sulpher! Great Video!.. See you two soon!

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Percy. We hope you are surviving those high temperatures out there in Greece that we are hearing about on our news.

[@edmundcarew7235]

Excellent video, and thankfully, seems to be good numbers on the trains. It is peak season for you (or almost: I assume August is busiest).

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Travelling numbers are quite high this year which is good news!

[@terrywatson7997]

Nice little journey Mike thank you.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks to you too Terry. Glad you liked what you saw.

I understand your frustration. Strong winds can be a nuisance. I've suffered a very different frustration to this. A certain factory team are taking far too long to release the second batch of new Dapol Manor models. I've had my pre-order of Foxcote Manor cancelled, thanks to Rails of Sheffield for obliging at my request. But fear not. I resorted to Plan B and bought a new model of Hinton Manor (still available to purchase), plus some Foxcote Manor name and numberplates from Silver Tay Models, ebay, and now new Hinton Manor has been turned into my beloved Foxcote Manor. I'm very pleased with myself for doing this.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

That sounds like a very good way forward Kelly. Well done!

[@Southweststeamfan]

Great video admiral! Keep it up!

[@janinapalmer8368]

Hahaha ... Admiral ? He was never in the Navy 😂...

[@drawyrral]

I prefer the passenger's view over the driver's view in a video.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

That is what we normally experience when visiting the railway so is more typical.
