Already feeling elated with ourselves after a successful snoop around Chatterley Whitfield Colliery, the four of us headed for a stress-free wander around the so-called "Train Graveyard" in Oakamoor. I think i'm right in saying that we'd all seen reports on this place in the past, and from the moment it got suggested we were itching to squeeze this place into the day's antics.
The residents of this quaint (and somewhat quirky :crazy) rural hotspot did not fail to notice the highly suspicious sandwich of young men, driving through their isolated little village, doing numerous U-turns whilst treating the Churnet Valley to a collection of Frank Zappa classics - courtesy of fishbrain's on-board CD collection and Xan Asmodi's enthusiastic DJing!
Nevertheless, we arrived undisturbed and had a look around the most chilled site I think I've ever had the pleasure to explore.
