2018 Treasure Hunt Challenge

Item #16 ticked off, today … Viaduct!

Hockley Viaduct to the south of Winchester … disused as a railway line after the Beeching cuts of the early 60s, as was the rest of the DNSR (Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway) for passengers, although used for some freight (mainly oil from Fawley Refinery) until '64, and fully closed in '67.

This small section of viaduct is now a foot/cycle path (part of National Cycle Route 23)

This is also my first Litchi mission flight actually recording video/photos. (OK - 2nd - the first was almost my last! #Oops!)
