Well then, where to start?!

All started with the Cornish Mamod Group, and mate Ben mentioned he worked at a 7 1/4 line. "Where" I asked, thinking it would be further upcountry more. Porth**** (location secret lol - private line ;) ), "woah" I said, "I used to live near there before I moved to my house!" Having glimpsed it sometimes driving past at old house, I was intreiged. Ben mentioned to me and mate Sam (South-Trethevy) that he asked if we could go to a running day. Here's the result! Enjoy ;)

"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

Well, exactly a year (well, a day out) since I first went to TMR, and I felt like going along today... So set out and went and met Sam (south-trethevy) and Ben down at TMR...
