Dalesman and Pendle Dalesman 2021

Could have told you it was green last night as most folk on NP knew already but we never post otherwise we betray our contacts

 

Northbound 18.05.21

 

35018 seen at Selside Shaw and Stockber.

 

Thanks for the excellent shots today everyone. Looking forward to seeing BIL's younger sister in the Vale Of The White Horse tomorrow

 

Playing hide and seek with the sun at Ais Gill.

Great to be out of the county again. I'll be back for more in the rain on Thursday if all goes to plan.

 

So good to break cover again, with BIL doing the honours in some glorious spring sunshine. Could only do the outward leg but a nice little appetiser to what will hopefully be a much better second half of the year and a bit for mainline steam and for the whole preservation movement.

Same again Thursday and Saturday, a glutton for punishment springs to mind!

Great to be back chasing steam on the S&C, even if it was the clagless wonder that is BIL
Tried a new location at Little Salkeld that had dappled sun, none on the ground and a little at the viaduct.
I messed up the return shot on the S&C due to the early running but caught up at Hellfield and Whalley viaduct for what turned out to be the best light of the day.
Plenty of familiar faces on the lineside which was good to see, another step to normality achieved.

Just asking, may this thread be renamed Pendle Dalesman and Dalesman 2021.

Wonderful coverage of 35018 today thank you.

 

Whalley Viaduct.......

 

Could become a very long thread with 12 Pendles and 14 Dalesmans planned.

 

The Jacobite thread manages, and that involves over 200 trains a year....

 

A barnstorming run over Ais Gill !

 

Some excellent photos and vids but now for something completely different - a bit of mobile phone footage from Langho. Sorry about the editing but you can't show what's not recorded.

 

Agreed, but many of the Jacobite trips result in no posts whilst all Dalesman and Pendle Dalesman usually have multiple posts (typically a couple of pages per trip?). Not our choice best left to the Mods to decide.

 

Next stop Hollywood young Whistle
