The Sun on Route 65

Another walk on Route 65 the old East Coast main-line railway near York where there is a Scale Model of the Solar System spread out along 6.4 miles, a little over 10 km.

The scale of the model is 575,872,239 to 1.
So every 100 metres along the track corresponds to more than 57 million kilometres in space.
The speed of light is about 1.16 mph, so it is easy to walk at 3 times the speed of light and to cycle at 10 times the speed of light.
Every journey down the cycle track ends before it begins and every time you travel on the track you will become a little younger.

The construction of this track in 1985-1987 was the first venture for Sustrans, who have gone on to create the National Cycle Network.
