  1. Wow what a picture of the Jay at the end absolutely phenomenal.I have actually been to Gayton today helping someone up the flight.I needed the exercise and was getting withdrawal symptoms from not being out on the cut in all day fresh air.As a piece of information some of the IWA volunteers who maintain the Northampton flight have been doing the hedge laying and are being taught how to do it.For your heritage information the rail bridge Zephyr was running around is the original cast (or is it wrought ) iron bridge built in 1840(it was gorgeous) encased in concrete in about 1965 when the line was electrified.You can actually still see the original underside iron supports and I think painted blue.Pity the original structure wasn't left as built the pictures of it are beautiful with lots of cross trusses,and I'm sure it would have been strong enough.Have a lovely week.
