Train spotting and a wander up Whernside
I took a walk up Whernside, forgetting what happens there on a Wednesday.
Of course, as soon as I saw the crowds, I realised what they were waiting for – because I had been on it a few weeks earlier – so we decided to hang around for the arrival of Leander on its way across the Settle Carlisle line.
It was only when I found myself boasting to a chap from the south that not only had I been on the train but I had walked across the viaduct recently that I realised that I have been infected with this strange disease.
My excuse is that I do it for a living!
