WW 3rd March 2010

The Raz Express roars into the night

Lights strung out in a chattering chain.

Winding through gorse and swerving round rocks

Sticks tip, tap, tip, tap, tippety tap.


First brief halt at Innominate Tor.

(What’s it called? Who knows!)

Off again – no slacking.


Wheezing and creaking

Leaning into the incline to Cox.

What a view (that was).

Plunging down.

Gathering speed for the long pull up Staple.

Up and up and up and HALT!


Refreshments.


Down again, stretching out along the leat

And catapulted up to Pew.

An involuntary dog leg and squeal to a halt.

Then cars and the Whitty – hooray!

You really do have to be there ...
