Good job Wirksworth people are so friendly and accommodating.

Also quite a climb up Cromford Hill!

They are used to big six wheeled limestone lorries but an 8F on a lowloader? All I can say is "Wow!"

I cant think of any other way to do it apart from going round by Duffield.

You can get an idea from this photo why the Midland Railway's original idea of opening a line to Rowsley was somewhat desperate.
