Phew - Thornton Old Railway Track

A bit of a change of venue for me today with a drive over to Thornton and a walk along the excellent tarmac path of the Old Thornton to Queensbury railway line.

I went as far as the Queensbury railway tunnel and called at the excellent cafe next to the track on my way back.
