A northbound Cumbrian Mountain Express romps along the Garsdale Valley with King Arthur 777 "Sir Lamiel" ( minus smoke deflectors ) in charge.
A heavy snowfall overnight had produce wonderful conditions on the S&C although mist and fog surrounded much of the line. After a long hard climb from the road in the valley and having to trudge through 3 foot snow drifts we finally got to this spot , the mist was swirling around us but cleared just enough for the passing of Sir Lamiel producing some weak but welcome light on the scene.
