Paul Bear's Adventures at a 1940s Steam Weekend, Holt, Norfolk - 22nd September 2013
Fred gets the honour of the first weekend with "Paul Bear", the class mascot. The obligation is to document each weekend's activities, so to set the bar high enough we take the bear (plus Fred and the rest) for a day at the Holt 1940s Steam Weekend. We then take a steam train up to Sheringham for some fish and chips on the seafront, an activity which is accompanied by the sweet music of a V12 Merlin engine and the Spitfire it's attached to, which does a little display along the coast. Magic.
