Very atmospheric, Dave. our local weather is heading to look like that in the next hour or two, nice for New Year's Eve in just over 7 hous. Hard to believe it's mid-summer!

Cheers n HNY
Bazza.

Imagine that weather, just 10 or 15C colder (and thus with snow instead of rain) - that´ll be our New Year´s Eve here.


I have to second all above comments, Dave: Very impressive camera (and route building / modelling) work there! :)

Cheers, Markus

Love the route, I live in Dixon and would love to be able to run the line that I watch and listen to every day and night.

Thanks,
Randy

That's great!

I've ridden that line and remember some of those scenes. (But I live too far away to be an effective critic!)
