66764 Birkett Common
With a perfect evening's weather forecast on the day I travelled up for a short break in Liverpool, it would've been counterintuitive to have booked into my hotel early. I had never successfully managed a sunny photo on either the S&C or Shap so that's where I headed and wasn't to be disappointed - I had more success in half a day than on numerous week long visits to the area previously.
The pick of the crop for me was this one featuring 66764 "Major John Poyntz - Engineer & Railwayman" on the 6C00 17.15 Clitheroe-Carlisle North Yard heading downgrade past Birkett Common on the longest day. The clear conditions really accentuated the 709 meter High Seat Fell as the backdrop.
Special thanks to CW for helping me with directions.
