    Belle 3b.jpg

    Horrendous conditions today as 'Princess Elizabeth' works northbound towards Greyrigg with the 'Northern Belle' with Steve Chipperfield driving, Steve Clark
    on the shovel and Roly Parker Guard

    Belle 4b.jpg

    Tremendous sight and sound with much improve weather as No. 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' flies through Kirkby Stephen with the return leg of the 'Northern Belle’
    Steve Chipperfield driving, Steve Ckark on the shovel and Roly Parker Guard. If I could have bottled the smell off the exhaust I would have made a fortune

    6201 seen from a dismal Shap Wells and an improving Stocker, not one of my better days with rain on the lens and having to cut out phone interference and Tractor noise.

    Went to Burton-in-Kendal looking for a different vantage point, the first shot was taken out of frustration, if only . . . . :(
