    The route of this year's Great Britain appears to have taken some considerable trouble to avoid setting foot (wheel?) in Lancashire. Day 3 with its roundabout but interesting journey from Chester to Carlisle offered my best, and only chance to...

    A good day yesterday. Managed to get a good couple of rides in behind the Duke, and a trip in the 'very bouncy' Pug & Judy show. It was amusing being able to see a clear view of the line from the auto-coach over the *top* of the hauling loco! Was...

    Another great day yesterday and today. Stayed at The Grange in Arley, very comfortable small hotel where you are based in the quiet rural centre of the line. And leaving the Duke last night and walking back in the dark with it's chime whistle...

    Yes, indeed a very good day at the Severn Valley today. I managed the equivalent of a round trip behind The Duke and very good it was too. It's a superb bit of kit and I really must do a mainline trip with it before long. Also got some mileage...
