Today was Meall Corranaich & Meall a’Choire Leith - two outliers of the Ben Lawers group - this time with friends, so that was more fun! Bit of bog and rain, but not too bad - didn’t put my waterproofs on in the end #munrobagger #munrobagging #munro

1. Economic justice
2. Social justice
3. Climate justice
4. Promote peace
and human rights
5. Common
ownership
6. Defend migrants'
rights
7. Strengthen
workers rights and
trade unions

8. Radical devolution 

9. Equality

10. Effective
opposition to the
Tories

Visible vertical movement on this point work at Doncaster as an Azuma passes over at line speed, with audible clunks. Surely a priority for a quick re-tamp? @GarethDennis

Very happy to be pushed along by one of these Class 91s for the first time in ages - they’re doing well to be in day to day high speed use. The livery is perfect for them. Still don’t like being pushed along at 125 mph though 😬

Thanks train but you just couldn’t make up the delay and I missed my connection - still, had a very tasty vegan wellington for lunch - going to take a stopper to Stirling and hopefully catch the Glasgow - Inverness HST 🤞
