It's a good write up Stevey, and although I have now done the one for MM, perhaps you could do next years
Incidentally, any chance of emailing me the full version of that train picture for the article?

Thats fantastic, it was great to see some of the other walkers and drivers faces when we drove past as they didnt expect us to do it.
However, the route taken on the video is coming from wrynose, if you tackle the hill from the other end it is much more difficult! I did it in the 1275 minor with four adults with no trouble (except for when I missed 1st and went into 3rd )
