Lynton & Lynmouth Music Festival (LLAMA)

Sunday June 14th 2009 - Woody Bay Station

1.00pm: Jacksboro Highway – Acoustic Blues

Very hot sunny weather brought many visitors to Woody Bay today despite the lure of the beach! Maybe they were already suffering sunburn!

Nigel Thompson was there as a visitor for a change, and took these pictures.

Problems with AXE's steam air pump has seen a temporary return to using the air truck tender wagon on which a battery operating compressor provides enough air for the train's braking. 

A set of new images - along with descriptions - have been posted on the Works Train page - see here.

Thanks to Nigel Thompson for the photos

A new party-tent marquee was delivered this week and the Thursday gang were tasked with the job of constructing and erecting the new marquee. This marquee is positioned on the former lower lawn (now a levelled stone area) and during the periods throughout the season that it is erected, provides cover for the visitors using outside tea rooms.
