After a long day's gricing and with the last train having passed for the day we have a much-needed brew up before heading for home, a journey of some two hundred and eleven miles. In this photograph, Bill is obviously saying something amusing, as was often the case, whilst Graham prepares a brew by having probably just lit the primus stove. As can be seen, it would be a bit of a crush in the Austin 1100 for five of us and all our kit! This spot, at the entrance to the former Eccleshill quarry, is still very similar to this but trees have grown up a lot more blotting out the background. The entrance road is now wider and set to see a lot more traffic as the waste management and recycling company SUEZ have just been awarded permission to construct a large energy recovery facility on the site of the old quarry.
