West Midlands Day Out 19/02/11

19th February 2011. Went out on a trip around the West Midlands. This proved to be a bad move. Non-stop rain from the start of day until the final train home. Only two videos taken all day due to a combination of poor conditions and eventually a broken tripod. Runcorn Sprog and myself decided to get 70009 at Rugeley Trent Valley and the results weren't too great. At least 60039 saved the day at Tamworth on the High Level. Apologies for large amount of still images as I didn't have much choice in the matter.
