Was that responsible for the 'klaxon' audible from WNW well into the 90s?

Here's me thinking that the engine had been moved "somewhere else" :roll: after the main mill building had been converted into flats or whatever.... (Shows what I know :roll: )

Well I don't know whether to eat the egg off my face :eggface: or the large volume of humble pie :oops: . More speed less haste also comes to mind. Can I blame it on the lateness of the hour - I imagine someone or even two will think me very ignorant. Still you never know I might get it right another time.

Well done!
Thought it was easy but the best part was actually getting everything on!
A number of very pleasant trips over the last few years on the Fairbourne.
Should I sally forth again i will try something a little more challenging?
