    No I do not currently volunteer
    I was on the trip up the Lickey from Gloucester to, unusually, Waterloo. 65 at the bottom and 35 at the top with a Class 66 helping out. Some thought the Duke could have done it on its own but I think not. Quite a troubled journey southbound via Sharnbrook and Dudding Hill - trespassers etc. - but a nice trip.

    More interesting was the Salopian in 2011. Straight out of Euston with 13 on and up to 35 by the top of the bank. Coming home we ran from Milton Keynes to Watford in under 33 minutes for the 32+ miles and then shot down to Euston in 22 minutes. I recall that Harrow to Wembley was a tad quick....
