Prospect Hill Junction

You take the low road, and I'll take the high road, and I'll be in Scarborough afore ye: forgive the mauling of Scottish culture, but I was not aware until I set out to walk over the Larpool viaduct that there was a link line from the upper level to the lower level: this is the junction. I was assured by a friendly local that the line is walkable all the way down the hill. As General MacArthur said when retreating from the Philippines in World War 2, I shall return; in my case, without the US Army. View looks South. Care point for explorers: car parking in this area is difficult.
