Lanky Day Out

What is a Lanky Day Out?

It’s a day when members of the Society get together to look at a particular aspect of the railway usually in the form of visiting sites and parts of the old LYR system. The days are relaxed and as well as the organisers, many members provide information about the area visited, bringing photographs and maps of the places to be seen with discussions taking place on site and everyone learning more about the LYR. It is a day of interest and discovery which is usually enjoyed by all.

Small pamphlets are produced for these days out with photos and details relevant to the location. There are limited stocks of past issues available via the 'shopping' link on the left.
