Josianne, one of APPEVA's members, had not yet ridden on "Somme", the 40HP Hudson-Hunslet diesel locomotive that belongs to the Greenwich Diesel Group. As you can see, she supplied an umbrella big enough for two!

Hollycombe Steam Collection includes steam operated fairground rides, including flying chairs, merry-go-rounds, steam-gondolas and a razzle-dazzle that must be one of the best white knuckle rides in the country. All these rides are included in the admission ticket. As seen in the photo, age presents no barrier!

Spring was late in 2008 - even the first weekend in April the snowline was halfway down the mountains as seen in this picture.
