The Pendle Dalesman tours of 2023

See post #35

 

Apologies - tunnel vision!

 

Watched it on my phone in the car with the sound through the car speakers, sounded really good.

Must try that more often.

 

Got right royally screwed with the light at Blea Moor, sun came out seconds after it passed......... bugger!
"The Dalesman", 08/08/23.

and sounding a little bit sick at Kirkby Stephen on the return....................sun was out though!

Well done to WCRC for quickly providing replacement motive power. The bad news, I only found out 44932 had failed after the class 47 had appeared at Wilpshire. The good news, it wasn't raining and Mrs W didn't come along. For the record, 15C, RT & 41mph. I've attached a video - DO NOT WATCH IF OFFENDED BY DIESELS!

 

44932 seen leaving the loop at Carnforth from Crag Bank Bridge and the next Bridge with the ECS then from Burrow Road, Brownhill and Selside Shaw with the tour this morning, the return was seen at Stockber.

 

What a difference the toy makes to Kirkby Stephen shot,nice height too.

 

Spot on Stuart , must admit a drone gives that extra dimension although I’m not up on the flying side regarding rules wise sadly .Well worth me thinking about one !

 

44932 seen at Oubeck Goods Loop, Hoorocksford and Helwith Bridge on the outward leg:

 

Good to meet up today Stuart, enjoyed the chinwag

 

We've got to stop meeting like this, people will talk!

 

Thanks Steve, I have to admit though that I don't like using it but it does get to awkward places and some times gives a different perspective. Each to their own I suppose but give me a proper camera any day.

ps. have a look at John Longdens web site, he recently got a drone and clearly loves it, got some great shots on the S&C.

B;ack 5 No. 44932 works 1Z52 'The Pendle Dalesman' over Dandry Mire viaduct on its way to Carlisle with Mick Rawling driving, Rob Russell firing and Matt Miller Guard



Working the return 'Pendle Dalesman' over Dandry Mire viaduct on the approach to Garsdale Station, No. 44932 speeds onwards towards Hellifield with Mick Kelly driving, Martyn Soames firing and Steve Adams Guard

 

Yesterday afternoon we tried to do this location that looks back towards Appleby station but the path has now been blocked off with a fence so not sure if the owner will allow access to the lineside fence from his property.

 

A couple from yesterday featuring Black Five 44932. Seen at Swanside Viaduct, Helwith Bridge, Greengates, Birkett Common and Wilpshire Bank.
