    45231 seen climbing up Shap to the summit, not the best conditions with the heat haze and an abundance of flies.

    With Blackcombe Fell as a backdrop Black 5 No. 45231 'Sherwood Forester' powering the return 'Lakelandser' rail tour through Kirksanton and to Millom for the waterstop

    Not a lot of exhaust today but the wonderful bark climbing Dalton Bank more than made up for it

    Some diabolical times given to the return journey, 2 hours from Manchester Victoria to Brighouse!!!

    She did well to take 12 + a 47 over Shap. Saw her on return near Grange and she was fairly rattling along, noticeably quicker than what we see normally.
