Creech St Michael
& Cogload Junction
Andrew Triggs

Morning Keith/Roger
Yesterday I visited two more classic Somerset locations at Creech St Michael and Charlton overbridge, just shy of Cogload Junction, a decent bit of variety in generally decent conditions, another selection for CRS
All the Best
Andrew
