    When I did it it took me about an 45 mins to an hour to get to a view of the wetlands and viaduct from memory but despite being younger than Ben I suspect he got a lot higher and faster than me! Anyway, here's another from Saturday. [ATTACH]

    I thought it must be a drone. I’ve been two thirds of the way up so didn’t get the viaduct shot. I took advice from Ben Collier on the time it takes forgetting that he’s 30 years younger than me with the agility of a mountain goat!

    Cheers, got about 10 images in 2 days and can't complain about that! Very different to the previous weekend when it was storms, thunder, lighting and dark enough for the security lights sensitive to light to be on in Mallaig at half 12! No no...

    Are they drone shots or did you go up to top of mountain to the left of the road? You are right about the perfect conditions, the only downside was having an unfortunate encounter with a red deer on the way up. Thankfully the car is still drivable.

    And 60 years later in the summer of 2023 another Black 5, No 45212, is turned on the same turntable now situated about 500 miles north of Marylebone in the undergrowth at Fort William. [ATTACH] Peter

    Not so sure the very few is correct, Clan Line did the Kent circuit today and there will be another one on the 31st. On top of the job again today, arrived back at Vic half a minute early.
