    Well, here we are on the final section of nearly 2000 miles. Despite my sceptism I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve been surprised at the amount I could hear the locos and that’s because they have been worked hard or very hard even when there has been...

    It's been a funny old day, today we had Sunday lunch even though it's Saturday - no I'm not going bonkers, well no more so than usual. The problem has been caused by Sky TV, they moved the kick off time of Mrs W's team's next home match from 3pm...
