  • Sunday’s outing will have us Slipper ing to Ledburn where we’ll be Biggs ing it up at Nanna’s Cakes near Bridego Bridge (renamed Mentmore Bridge) scene of the notorious Great Train Robbery in 1963. This was a heist which landed the robbers £2.6 million (c£38m today’s value) and 30 years each at her Majesty’s Pleasure when they were caught after leaving fingerprints on a Monopoly board found at their hideout. It’s a 48 mile round trip so we won’t be Buster ing a gut.

    Meet at the Swan Pool at 8:45am Sunday.

  • Great post!

  • @NiallB I assume you're referring to the fact that the train that was robbed was the overnight mail train, i.e. it was delivering the 'post'!

  • They had a great post system - sorting mail while in transit - even collecting and dropping mail sacks while the train was in motion

  • @StuartMcMahon Hi! Road from Little Horwood to Mursley is closed but there is a diversion in place through Swanbourne.

  • Thanks Kirsty - That one didn't show earlier in the week
