During our
last visit to Basford Hall it was decided that a night shoot would be jolly nice. So it was arranged!
Many thanks to the
Alton Adventurer for sorting out the visit with those very nice people at
Freightliner. A good night out even if he (
Jimbo Mayl) couldn't find a McDonalds on an 8 mile cruise of Crewe town!
