What have you done today with your Austin Seven

    Ian Dunford very kindly sent me a PM last night to remind me about an episode of "The world's most scenic rail journeys" (channel 5) which featured the "Ligne des Cevennes" between Nimes and Clermont Ferrand in the Massif Central. This line passes very close to Rekkers Towers and featured amonst other things the semi circular viaduct at Chamborigaud which is a listed national monument. I had a run out in the RP this afty for a photo op, although I need to find a better location for a full panorama.

Thanks, Ivor. In reality this is a HUGE structure and the first photo doesn't really show it. Here's another shot of the car and the bridge taken from the other side of the arch to give an idea of perspective. The car hasn't moved.

I'm glad you had enough headroom Bruce!

Spectacular viaduct though, next time Rosie and I have a trundelle au Francais, we'll make a point of puttin g than en route.

I’m reminded of the pork and chestnuts in an hotel in Genolhac, one of the villages the line passed through.

Today I got my son to help change the diaphragm in the ORT petrol pump,  then put both him and my stepdaughter to work cleaning up the Speedex alloys...

Finally after 25 years I think I may have this parenting thing cracked.

I have been mostly lightly blasting the wheels off my box saloon, two pack blacking them and fitting new tyres and tubes...I am completely knackered and that shirt was clean on this morning...
