Jack Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Hi folks. The sun was shinning for once so a couple of calls were made and off we went on a tour of Dorset :whistle: Saturday, Lawson and I went on down to Swanage for an ice cream. We parked in the top car park listening to a band play and then we met a couple who knows our very own Whistling Wolf.......... :schocked: They saw us drive through the town centre and came looking for us they have part share in a WC 54 and are reenactors and were down south on holiday - we always meet someone of interest when we are out! . . The next post are of the next day and down to Portland Bill............. Edited January 14, 2010 by Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ah, was the road to Portland open? Years ago it flooded and Jimmy Young announced this on Radio 2, he then 'People will have to find an alternate route'. Last I heard they were still looking.
