At last! It's decent weather this week.

The 'Indian Summer' is here and many of us are in shorts. Not too hot though. Lots to do at Woody Bay as always and the good turnout for the Thursday Gang helped to complete a couple of important projects today.

It was also a normal operating day, with plenty of visitors enjoying their ride on the L&BR.

Overcast, dull, summer weather today seemed to keep people away from the beaches and into the other tourist attractions here in North Devon, thus helping to boost visitor numbers at Woody Bay.  Well done to the shop and tea rooms staff who worked solidly throughout the day ensuring all the customers were well catered for. It was busy at the station with high loadings recorded on several trains.
