Too much Christmas pudding! Plan a walk over these lines to loose weight, broaden the mind, and fill your lungs with fresh air.

I'd love to do Lisummon tunnel.....jhbSenior went part-way on the lifting train....

The line had been abandoned so long that saplings were growing between the rails, and many sleepers were rotten. As a result, a PW gang had to go out to repair the track so that the lifting train could get over it!
