I rather like the Forest of Dean.....the Dean Forest Railway and the Woodman Inn at Parkend. For various reasons, not just pandemic, I've not been since 2019.

A long shot but does anyone know Clarence Harper, who lived in Coleford and who I knew in my hillclimbing days? He'd be a good age by now. When I knew him, he drove and Audi Coupe (Looked like the Quatro) and I know he had worked in a VW garage (Once told me how one of the fitters put a gearbox into a Type 2 upside down, so that it had four reverse and one forward gear). He had a very broad Forest dialect, whilst his wife spoke what would once have been called BBC English. They were a nice couple.

Sorry can't help with that name but I will ask around
The show was great, many of the owners were very friendly, my youngest now wants a db9 :drool:
