Another day 'on the bash' having started out from home the day before, in what would turn into another great weekend in the south west. In glorious Devon weather, whilst awaiting my next move, I decided to capture this DMU arriving at Exeter St Davids on Saturday 10 August 1991, presumably from Barnstaple to Exmouth.

 

For those that may be remotely interested (Steve Clark) here's my moves for the weekend, and just like my previous upload of 47079 three years earlier, there were no mobile phones, no spoon-fed internet gen, no RTT, no live maps and so on:
