Review of 2019 : August

The Summer rolls on, August saw some long-range trips. The month began with a visit to Denham Green, mostly to walk the Grand Union Canal. Next up was a trip to Hagley in Worcestershire. I also visited Loughborough, for some reason I didn't realise the Great Central Railway is based in the town and only had time for a short visit. The GCR was to be properly visited later in the year...

Highlight of the month was a short holiday in Cardiff. As well as the usual touristy stuff like the castle I also did some rail travel around the city and walked Cardiff Bay and Penarth Marina.

At the end of the month came a short stay in London which enabled me to explore the Oxted Line, including Crowborough and the Spa Valley Railway.

Highlight of the month on the BGLR model railway was the arrival of two new wagons.

Song of the month was "left behind" by Michael Oakley.
