Taken during my first visit to the line of 2017.

After the somewhat disappointing session at Salter's Hill at the 2016 spring gala, I decided to see if there were any potential alternate locations between Winchcombe and Gotherington, so I decided to plan a walking route between the two stations to see if that produced any workable locations to the south of the line.   With the aid of a custom Ordnance Survey map (the GWSR line requires 3 standard OS 1:25000 scale maps to cover the line; my custom map has it covered by one), I found a possible walking route with the minimum of road walking between the two stations, and walked this route on this visit, starting at Winchcombe.  

I found two possible locations: this one just to the southwest of the village of Gretton, and another at Far Stanley (see later in the collection).   In this photograph, 7820 is seen with a Toddington-bound train.
