Complete Riding
When I mentioned Heath Tully recently, I didn’t realise this was part of a phenomenon known as ‘complete riding’. From Wikipedia:
Another enthusiast activity is attempting to ride the complete railway network of in one or more cities, state, or countries. This may take months or years in the case of dense networks. The definition of ‘complete’ riding may change from person to person, and non-passenger routes may be included by travelling on special excursion trains, others may attempt to ride on each individual track and curve, rather than the route as a whole, some may not include riding during night, and others may require visiting each stations rather than just passing though. British enthusiasts who attempt to cover a railway network are usually referred to as “gricers” or “track bashers” (see above).
