Glad someone is showing more thigh than I did!

Glad someone is showing more thigh than I did!

I'm not 7 foot tall, it's a narrow-gauge railway, along the track-bed of an ex BR line, so the tunnel on the line does seem H-U-G-E though
Held at the Kirklees Light Railway, at Clayton West (in conjunction with 'Denby Dale Athletics Club')

We ride to the far terminus, & via a set route, try to beat the train back to the home station
I've seen it at the interim station, but not beaten it
To the trains advantage, it has a falling gradient back, & is entirely dependant on who's got their hand on the regulator


Re; the 'H v C' picture, possibly my favourite race
Bingley Harriers (the 'home' of both Brownlees, & Rob Jebb) in association with Bradford RCC

He was a darling but about as photogenic as me! I seriously looked into bringing him home.

So not only does it look like you picked up a random passing cat but you did!

It would have been early 80's.....I'm surprised it survived our house.

No, clear shots in which I'm easily identifiable.

Hope you got a satisfactory result from the incident. Though knowing our lot I doubt you would have.
