Hope you enjoy.

 

I think that is (just) a reasonable answer, although one could always question JS as an emergency ration, water would have probably been stronger and tastier!

A steady 30 up Shap in a freezing blizzard, and 35 over the summit.

1728 Shap, circa 34mph.
Everything I own is frozen. Sounded fantastic.

Windows are frozen, complete white out outside.

 

Stopped north of Grayrigg, 1738 not in loop.
By side of M6 nothing going south, crawling north.

 

1745.. Heading into loop.

 

Yes I did. Reminded me of 1983, I think it was, with Leander and the Midland Compound. Totally different footage from last weeks, but just as enjoyable. Thanks a lot for posting, I felt for you, listening to the snow hitting the microphones.

The paper say "look Oakfield and Victor"

Great shots - and in those conditions it was above and beyond the call of duty I reckon.

 

Today's run was very lucky by the sounds of it. The service train (which was the one I was getting on) following it 40 minutes later, north up the S&C only made it as far as Ribblehead where there was a points failure. There was a 2 hour delay before it eventually got going again.
