47580 County of Essex & BR 7MT 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell approach Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 24 November 2017 with the 5Z60 11:20 Southall to Bristol Kingsland Road West Coast Rail ECS. This was in preparation for the following day's Bristol to Chester 'Christmas Cheshireman' railtour. Unfortunately this was just before the sun appearing from behind a large bank of cloud. My original plan was to go to South Marston, but when I set out it looked like there would be more chance of sun at Denchworth. When I got closer, it was obvious it was going to be under the cloud, so I started to head for South Marston again. Driving along the A420 I didn't seem to be getting any near the edge of the cloud, so again headed for Denchworth. When it was too late to move, it looked very likely that South Marston would have been in sun. Motto: Always stick to your first plan!
