Here we are having a welcome break at The Steam Car Club coffee stop.
As always Ray Clark and his team were there providing hot soup, tea, coffee and buns.

And here we have stopped for our final water fill before arriving in Brighton.

Car checked over, water tanks full, Jim and I are ready for the last hill before Brighton.

Nearly there, at this point my Grandson Scott had hitched a ride.
