we finally turned south again to Astle.
Not that many people there, was the first impression, weather was grumpy but
mild, we had a few spots of rain while there, so that may have kept the paying
public away.
Quite a few interesting engines this year, and a large Dutch contingent with
engines that we recognised from Nuenen.
Spoke with Kim, Dan Howden, Len Gillings, PTFE. David McCreath, saw a few
familiar faces, but as we were on a bit of a flier, we had to leave before 2pm,
got home after 4pm.
Dan reckoned that the unofficial count for the Saturday was 560 engines, a long
way down on the 1000 target, but that number may increase on the official count
tomorrow.
