can you see Finlay?
the three amigos.
Well we are starting to wind down from our trundles now.
Sunday, was lunch at Little port(hm, carvery, but they need to get their act together as regards room for manoeuvre with a plate of grub) However the meat was quality and plenty of it, although I did ask for another slice of beef for my old chap. He would eat beef every day if he could.
Did a small shop-up/stock-up and then off to Prickwillow Engine museum.
It was magnificent. There are about 7 different old fashioned engines, that were used for fen drainage etc. but we now realise we want to go back on a “run” day, when the volunteers get the engines running. I didn’t think I was going to find it so interesting . the mirlees summat or other was enormous. Some good hands-on diagrams to play with, and good explanations of how a 2 stroke and 4 stroke piston diesel engine works., ……………………wow, mind blowing. Some of these chaps were pretty damn clever. Anyway a very enjoyable hour, and hopefully we will go back in December, and here these wonderful engines working. Can’t wait.
So, the last few days,will be spent down Brandon Creek or The Little Ouse, there is reasonably priced fuel here, pub at the top, and then by the end of the week we will be trundling off back through Salters Lode and home.
I don’t think we will be getting into any more tricky situations, so I will say Hasta Luego until next time.
Thank you for reading/following this blog, and hope it wasn’t too boring. !!!
Next Year we will be trundlin’ from april to October, and will be off to the northern canals e.g. peak forest, leeds/Liverpool, Lancaster etc. I expect I will blog.
So, I will blog off. X
Is there anyone out there ?
