Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 11, 2017, 08:54:27 PM That's what I thought. The forcast's good for the weekend. It clashes with the monthly BBC gig, (Basingstoke Blues Club), but I thought it sounded interesting so Yeah, I'll give it ago.
Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 15, 2017, 12:49:58 PM Had a really nice evening here. Very friendly, cosy atmosphere, especially when it got dark & the lights came on.
They hold a lot of events at the pub, including a classic car & bike meet on the first Sunday of the month. Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 15, 2017, 12:50:38 PM .

Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: JayJay on October 16, 2017, 12:33:30 AM Glad you went and cheers for the photos. The atmosphere with the lights was just as I imagined it. Good photos and the night time ones turned out well. Sometimes you just can't see much. Did you use a flash?
Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 16, 2017, 10:55:14 AM No, just snapshots on my phone :)
I used to lug a big Nikon camera with me at shows. A real pain -like carrying a house brick everywhere & means you've always got one hand full, which is annoying g at autojumble, or trying to eat a burger! Switched from 35mm to digital, then went down to a pocket sized digital Nikon before realising my Huawei smartphone takes just as good, if not better shots. O my downside is it uses up the battery very which, so I have a spare battery pack in my pocket, (same size as the phone), & just plug the charging lead in when it gets low.

Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 16, 2017, 11:09:28 AM Bizarre -apparently flattening things with steam rollers is a bit of a thing at traction engine gatherings -the steam equivalent of burnouts at hotrod meets?
Never leave your grandfather clock unattended in the path of a roller. Wise advice. Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Baychimp on October 16, 2017, 04:12:17 PM It pays to keep your feet out of the way as well.
Title: Re: Steam up at the Leathern Bottle, Bracknell Saturday 14th Oct' '17 Post by: Manky Monkey on October 16, 2017, 06:09:07 PM Never leave your grand father in the path of a steam roller either.
