THE NICKEY LINE 2011 As some of our group members hadn't been there before, we investigated part of The Nicky Line last week for the second time. We are still in the process of writing up a full report, but here are a few things if you are thinking of Investigating the area yourself. - Go during the week - The area has a large field to one side and at weekends, and school holidays in the Summer it can get very busy with groups of (sometimes drunk) teenagers. The line is also used as a walkway and after the local pub is closed you can get some groups walking down it. Having been there at a weekend and weeknight we would definately say the weeknight was quieter.
- Be careful and take good lights! - It is very, very dark in places and there are some very steep 'drops' in places (the original railway embankments) - It is easy to wander from the track and slip down them!
- Wear flat, comfortable shoes - there are some steps and uneven terrain in places, and some climbing may be involved to reach certain places - shoes with some sort of grip are preferable.
- Go in a group! - We wouldn't suggest going down there alone, we had a good group of male/female members and took walkie-talkies so members could walk further along the line if they wanted.
- Take a table - as with Snooks Grave, if you are thinking of holding a Ouija Session or similar then a table and chairs help as you really don't want to sit on the ground!
- It's in a residential area - on one side of the track there are houses so don't draw too much attention to yourself, or what you are doing. Also the noises coming from the houses can be misleading - we heard several noises that could have been misheard as 'Paranormal' but more than likely came from the residents nearby!
- The line itself runs from Hemel to Harpenden, which is about 7 miles - we'd suggest if you wanted to investigate the entire line driving to each area is best - it's a long walk!
