Thanks Ian. Glad that I didn't go at £25 admission for the family plus petrol, this would have been an expensive day out especially as the Kivells engines were not on show.

[cocky_1987]

ok, so here are a few of mine. Please forgive the non-steam ones!

Tom, not only did you miss the "Kivells" engines, you also missed retired ex Laira Locomotive Engineer par excellance Mr Keith Netherton! ......

A "Kivells" engine....

Given my experience of places to visit down this way I would have to dissagree that Dingles is an expensive day out. £20 for a family of 2 adults and 2 children if bought online in advance.
Compare that to the circus that is traveling the south west at the moment that my eldest daughter was desperate to go and see - HERE
That would works out at cheapest seats £48 and most exensive £76 for an hour and a half show. Needless to say eldest daughter was taken to Dingles instead and had much more fun riding the dodgems and learning to drive a Burrell showmans engine while generating for the skid instead.

Don't Dingles do that thing where your admission is valid for the rest of the year - that's what we did when we went and visited twice during 2011.
