Tackley

UK YTD: 90

Still need 60 shacks to hit my goal for 2017. That goal is proving harder to match than expected, especially when almost every other goal is already cleared, some more than once!

Yep - a combination of work and familial visits - I clocked up over 2,000 miles in one week!!

You have been pretty busy lately, although I have to admit to missing your trip reports!

2,000 in one week is pretty good going, although no doubt exhausting!

Things have been pretty busy this year so I took a conscious decision to put off writing up the reports as I haven't really had the time to write them up. Things will change in September hopefully!

Perfectly understandable. When you've got a wife and a little 'un to look after, you've got more important things to do than type up notes about your travels!

Well done Mr Kite! This Saturday I'm a bit further north (Ullapool) than your FoNW will permit but I doff my cap to anyone who can tick off Northern Rail with all our awkward lightly served stations!

My plan will rest on getting information for 156463, my last Northern unit. If it is floating around in the North West I will aim for it, heck if it is in Newcastle (Morpeth - MetroCentre services) I will probably head across the divide with an extra Hexham - somewhere ticket to get it into my book.

Many congratulations Kite on clearing Northern for shacks, an incredible achievement on its own! Fingers crossed that 156 turns up for you on Saturday!

Some very familiar names there, I'm looking forward to seeing how adrock got on with those Heart of Wales shacks!

All being well, I'll get a couple of shacks in on Friday morning but it remains to be seen.
