Golant Delight

I usually enjoy the Golden 8 Weeks, around the longest day in June, but the weeks leading up to 21st have been very disappointing. Cloud has shrouded the County with only a few glimpses of sunshine. I see that is set to change this week, which create a sunny Mazey Day - a feat not seen for some years now.
I was advised the clay empties from Carne Point may be ready early last Friday so hoped for a high tide, break of sun departure. The sun was hazy to say the least, but it did appear as the squealing of flanges could be heard leaving Fowey. My friend Ian's fields stayed lit in the background which was a good omen. As the train blew up for the slipway crossing at Golant the train passed through in fine evening light, and a tick on the bucket list was crossed off!
All the best, Craig
An excellent shot, perfect timing and planning, many thanks.

Just about the turn of the tide at Golant, lovely reflections. 66031 on the 6P25 15th June 2018 Copyright Craig Munday
