The first diversion.

Within 40 minutes of the trip the train has been diverted, rather than heading out towards Lincoln as planned, we have just raced down the main line. This means that we will be sitting at Newark Northgate for around 40 minutes.
John has announced that he does not like the new shortbread biscuits that you get in First.

We have just been looking at photos of the Narrowboat weekend, and having some rather random conversations.

We had to teach Sam how to let him self out of the train, as he is only used to using the newer trains with the electric doors.

He does not know how to use a door handle........

The Explorers have just headed across to Costa for a coffee and stretch their legs, next time we need to let them have a map, as they have just returned and said that they couldn't find the Costa.

Sams score is now 4......5.

And they're off

The 3 explorers and 2 leaders ready to leave from Wakefield Westgate.
