Another glorious day of sunshine in the dark skies region and a walk into Bellingham, yes we had to walk!

A womble round the one street village and Mrs Fogg picking up a couple of Ribeye steaks for food, after we enjoy the sunset in the Dark Tower (oooh I feel like the Gunslinger).

Welcome to Dark Skies outside of Hexham in the middle of errr, nowhere.

Here we are in a 4 storey tower with wide open windows and a sliding sunroof over the bath so you can watch the stars. No hustle or bustle.

Ah the journey home, 2 hours direct from York to London, and ow due to rail improvements (aka doing nothing, creating chaos and costing millions), 2 hours to chesterfield with an hour wait then 2 hours to York.

Your safety is our responsibility so please block the vestibules and ilses since we are over crowded

And sat here in Chesterfield waiting for the York train, listening to the constant stream of delays and excuses:

• Engineering work
• Engineering works not completed correctly or on time
• Flooding
• Disruption due to late running trains
• Track repairs
• Emergency track repairs
• Insufficient drivers available to drive the trains
• Issues with the train
• Sped restrictions due to rain
• No one told us we were supposed to be running this service today and everyone had tickets for it. It’s news to us, that’s why we’re late
• Trespassers on the tracks
• But the day ain’t over until they cancel the service at Leeds and say tough!

How on earth does this country manage to survive! Why can’t they just be honest and admit they are clueless and don’t know how to fix a broken rail system.

5.5hours and 3 trains to get from London to York!

And another magic sign, nope we couldn’t fine one at all

The car is definitely the star in Back to the Future musical.

And here is Mrs Fogg looking all jaunty outside our pub (with her new peaky blinders cap as well).

And a whistle stop overnight trip to London to see Back To The Future, the Musical.

Food, drink a show and then home. A nice 650g Porterhouse to keep us going.
