On the same day we had the honour and remarkable privilege of visiting Yelverton  station with the owner Lady Kitson. The station site is extremely private - a wild life sanctuary.

We're still at Yelverton station but looking through Yelverton Tunnel towards Tavistock and Launceton. The 641 yards long tunnel is in remarkable condition.Ccopyright Roger Salter

With many thanks to our photographer Roger Salter and to Roger Winnen who organised the very fine day out. Also our sincere thanks to lady Kitson.

Unfortunately the Coronavirus has caused the cancellation of all our outdoor visits in 2020. We hope to organise more outdoor visits again in 2021
