Dad and I did Pathfinder's tour on October 15th, unfortunately, I should have perhaps looked at the advert and Baker's Atlas
before chinging out £159 as we got to enjoy 60065 for a paltry 12 miles! Initially the tour itinerary had Cl.66 Bristol to Crewe, thence 2x37's for the main part, Cl.60 Monk Bretton to Wakefield, back to Brum for Shed back to Bristol.
Things had obviously gone awry though as the 37's were due maintenance exams at Crewe. So whilst we got to enjoy the 37's from Cheltenham to Crewe, the Tractor fans joining at Birmingham and Crewe plus the many lineside photters out for them would have been sorely disappointed.
On the way to Crewe, on board announcements mentioned the possibility of a 60 coming on there and a second for MB-Wakefield, now that would've been worth it!
All in all though, it was a gorgeous day (although decent pictures were difficult) and I got some more "red bits" in the book so not all bad. Next planned Tug tour is in December which promises much more miles behind a 60, much of it all new to me.
