Hello,
Go on the Old Glory site and look at the wats on section - lists every thing in the country week by week - really useful site
Don't forget it's the Great Dorset next week !!

Cheers Tom,
Thanks for reply, I'm in Nottingham, not to far away. There are many steam events and places of interest in the area. Have you been to papplewick pumping station?
I use this Old Glory site all the time, it gets me out and about, never fails to bring something up.
Glad to be of help
Cheers

Hi Tom,
Papplewick is on this week end - good time to go, Sunday and Monday pm best, take a camera - It's a Victorian wonder.
If you do go make sure you see the steam workshop off the bioler house, small but interesting, all the tools work of line shafts and /or steam
I'm off to the Lakes for a couple of days, so not going this time.
Any inof needed - Google Papplewick Pumping Station - maps on there and every thing
Regards
H2o |
