60007, Sir Nigel Gresley, takes "the Golden Hind" over the Devon banks!

This was quite an eventful day but ill keep the description quick. While my original plan was to see it at Rattery, a points faliure meant no trains were headed that way so I took a local stopper to Newton Abbot and cycled out to Dainton to find electric fence up in the field by the tunnel mouth. With time running out, I had minimal time to get to Stoneycombe where a lorry engine drowns out much of the audio and I trod on a wasps nest. Still the clip is included seeing as I went to much effort to take it. I then had plenty of time to make my way to Hemerdon where I met ‪@crunchynutsteamfilms5043‬, ‪@blackcountrysteamvideos8021‬ and ‪@WestCountrySteamVideos‬ as we waited for the late running steam special to turn up. I hadn't noticed my camera didn't quite focus properly but I don't think it impacted the video too badly. As me and Dan (‪@crunchynutsteamfilms5043‬) wanted to see it again, it was a tough cycle back to Ivybridge to just about make a train east to Tiverton where she puts on a great show through the station speeding up from Tiverton loops.
Thanks to everyone who made this a great day and thanks for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed!

    Great video Luke, good to see you at Hemerdon and be on the train with you to Tiverton lol. I'm bloody glad we made it 🤣!! That cycle wasn't half tough but well worth it. Regards, Dan

    Yes without us both motivating each other, I may not have even bothered trying to catch that train. Without knowing the time I was sure I'd miss it but Tiverton was a fitting end to a great day.
