TPT 3

The great weather of the first two and half days was countered by a windy wet Wednesday afternoon as we crossed the Pennines on the old Woodhead rail route. This was a line that was the first main line to be electrified in the UK. Typically it was scrapped; a ludicrous waste. Now it is great for us on bikes, but the freight that the line would be ideal to transport forms a solid queue across the Pennines. Trans Pennine Regress.
