Part Two
Dawlish Donkeys
Paul Barlow

Twenty years ago today saw the last of three days of activity with the 'Dawlish Donkey and thankfully for us Paul Barlow was there to record these two moments.  Firstly with an irreplaceable view from Powderham and finally at Newton Abbot as 80079 takes a drink prior to, as Paul reports, a spirited run back to Exeter.  Many thanks indeed Paul.
