The Wheel and the Moor


Sunday we finally went on the Yorkshire Wheel at the National Railway Museum http://www.york-wheel.metaltype.co.uk/top.html . It is impressive but definitely looks small beer compared to the London Eye … until you get into the air conditioned pods. It is surprisingly vertigo – inducing, the tough looking bloke in the pod next to us had to press the alarm and make an early exit [ this involved the wheel reversing round for him to get out in a sheepish manner]. The views are great, and you get a good view of Hob Moor as well as of the Minster and the station complex.
