Now I wouldn't typically condone such brazen behaviour of skipping sleep on a school night, but sometime the conditions or should I say the opportunity presents itself and you just need to sacrifice something. Being tired at work today was well worth the sacrifice of no sleep last night...
Rewind a few hours around 8pm yesterday evening as the light of the day was beginning to ebb I succumb to this nagging urge to try an shoot the Milky Way and specifically the Galactic Core. From Worcestershire! - I know right! Milky Way hunting in the Midlands who would have thought it.
The weather and new moon was ideal with the evening forecast suggesting a cooling temperature and light to no breeze. Due to having work at 07:30 the challenge was to find a suitable location within 10 miles of where I live. This location needed manageable light pollution, reasonable access and somewhere I could get back home before 4am to get at least 2 hours sleep.
So come 00:30 armed with a couple of hours trawling google maps and a whole host of weather and astrophotography related applications, I picked a spot, that I thought might give me what I was looking for and set off
Arriving at around 01:00 hiked up in the darkness (new moon) for around 30 mins finally reaching my destination, spent the next few mins trying to work out a composition and dialled in the settings. Come 03:00 its was time to head back to the car!

Pour la petite histoire, après avoir fait un détour pour faire un spot qui n'était pas prévu au programme (qui d'ailleurs fut un échec pour rentrer), nous a permis d'arriver au bon moment dans celui-ci !!!

6th March 2018. Ever since I had caught Oliver Cromwell in Chester for the first time I knew that there was little time left to see 70013 as her boiler certificate would be running out at the end of 2018. So a day not to miss was the 6th March 2018 when the 30742 Photo Group had chartered Oliver Cromwell for the day at the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway.
The boarded up signal box makes quite a contrast to the BR lined green liveried locomotive giving out some clag for us photographers. We were all quite safe as a KWVR official and 30742 staff supervised us every minute of the day.
In the photograph BR 7MT Britannia 4-6-2 No.70013 Oliver Cromwell works hard with her mixed goods train past the Haworth loop line on her way to Oxenhope.
