(Other Groups)! I sit on my boat pondering the many Steam Heritage engines to pass under this bridge! Plymouth, Par, Penzance bound? When i see a head bobbing, And legs franticly paddling? A knackered Squirrel crawls ashore? Its low water! So it must have a brain! But not a big brain? Or it would of walked over the bridge!

No Steam today on the Dalesman as Tangmere has broken down, video to follow
