    Nice one Mike, judging by the angle at Whalley you must have been a bit further up that i was for 46115, but yes everthing has grown in the past month or so.

    cheers Ralph. This was taken from the roadside (Whalley Old Rd ?) Had another look at your SG vid and you seemed to be a bit more side on to the arches. Was that taken roadside or were you in a field??

    I was in a field not far off Moor Lane about 150 yards down from where the radio/phone mast is in the field on the other side of the road. North of the stand of trees in the centre of this http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&s...3917,-2.413602&spn=0.006233,0.013711&t=h&z=16

    Many thanks Ralph, thats very helpful. Having arrived early yesterday thinking I'd got plenty of time for a look around, I didn't go along Moor Lane. Thanks again.

    looks like 5690 is having a steam test today, 44932 is beside it and has been lit, didn't think it was doing anything before the Cathedrals Express at the weekend from Victoria, maybe its going down soon.
