Geocache Description:

This stretch of railway is known for being VERY straight. This made it famous for the speed records set by the Flying Scotsman and then the Mallard steam locomotives.
 


The Speed record for a steam locomotive was set on this stretch of track near Arlesey by the Flying Scotsman, then broken be Mallard shortly afterwards. It is dead straight as far as the eye can see. It forms part of the main east coast line from London to Edinburgh, which the Flying Scotsman regularly travelled. It became the first locomotive to break 100mph. This was back in 1923.


This cache is located right next to a bridge, so don't worry about which side of the track you approach from. The difficulty rating might be between 2 and 5 depending on how you think!?!
Please take a pen/ pencil as there isn't one on the cache (there's only room for the log iteself)
FTF Honours got to Pink Paisley (surprise, surprise!) Well done PP.
Why not combine with Gerry's Hole? It's within walking distance.
