    I certainly earned my Blue Peter badge today, I think I've got frostbite in my feet and hands, jesus it was a cold wind. :eek::eek::eek:
    Shame the exhaust drifted a bit.
    Anyway this is the A2 on Ackworth viaduct and surprise surprise that's Ackworth Moor Top in the background.

    This one went a bit haywire, should have upped the ISO a bit. Can't win 'em all.
    60532 going well at Smithy Bridge, over 30 minutes down.

    That might put some off the market so it won't be as much a crush as it was last weekend.

    Pleased to see that today's trip made it to York albeit an hour late. Eight hours from Barrow though. Let's hope the return is more speedy.

    Coastal route currently closed between Lancaster and Barrow due to flooding at Ulverston. Saphos are due through at 22:12.
