Patagonia & Steam trains

Thanks to Chris BennettĀ for this weeks update.

Tuesday 21st was like so many games of football: a game of two very contrasting halves.

In the first, we were transported to southern Patagonia and Chile. Richard Craddock talked about the benefit(?) of doing an eight hour trek to get a good view of the Fitzroy mountain range, and showed us some superb landscape images of the mountains and glaciers.

In the second half, we returned firmly to the UK but with many puffs of smoke as Ian Duffield and Peter Duncan talked about their lifelong interest in steam trains. They showed us images from across the whole of the UK of trains, workshops and re-enactors. Moody skies and lovely low evening light featured heavily as well as the trains.
