S&DR200 Locomotion No.1

Replica of Locomotion No. 1

I had a great time Friday just gone in Shildon, watching the start of the replica journey along the Stockton and Darlington Railway of the Locomotion No. 1 (replica) as part of #railway200. The original journey took place on 27th September 1825 starting in Shildon making its way to Stockton. The original train was built by Robert Sephenson in Newcastle. I had my camera phone ready and this was the photo which I managed to take of the train.

Low Force not High Force

It's great living in the North, where we're spoiled for choice when it comes to stunning views. Low Force and High Force are two of my favourite spots. We recently had a walk at Low Force, and despite the lack of rain, the waterfall was still looking impressive. For somewhere called "Low" Force, it certainly packs a punch!

Not brassed off at Durham Brass Festival

  Who knew being bombarded by brass could be so enjoyable? Fantastic bands, smiling faces, and enough musical talent to blow the roof off. A brilliant day out. #DurhamBrassFestival
