Fell Racers in South Lakeland set off for Farleton Knott, Cumbria, in a BOFRA (British Open Fell Runners Association) Championship series race (#10 of 16).
Number 1 (Simon Bailey, in front already here) won this race in 18:46 and was BOFRA Champion in 2022.
This is the sport of running and racing off-road over upland country where the steep gradient and rough terrain are significant components of the challenge. The name arises from the origins of the English sport in the fells of northern Britain, especially those in the Lake District. It has elements of trail running, cross country and mountain running.
“They tried to stop her, but they failed miserably. They overlooked her, tried to discourage her, and sabotage her, but she persevered through it all with her head held high. They talked behind her back and plotted against her, but they didn’t realize that they were messing with an unstoppable, resilient Black Queen. She’s ambitious, intelligent, self-confident, and bold. She’s a Phenomenal Black Queen that didn’t have to compromise her integrity to get ahead. She’s genuinely happy, successful, and free to be herself. She can, she does, she wins!”
― Stephanie Lahart

A rare Saturday working of 6S45 presented a rare winter opportunity to see this working in daylight hours, and fortunately this coincided with an agreeably sunny day. A little after 9am 66744 is seen approaching Winning Signal box only a mile or so into it's journey.
The substantial puddle is an indication of the quantity of rain that has fallen over the past few weeks.

I was rather sad to learn that Hancocks butchers in Stoney Middleton is to close for good this Saturday. The farmshop has been run by six generations of the same family since they first opened n 1829. So no more of their delicious award-winning pork pies unfortunately.

Looks like nature is winning the battle at this viewpoint as the trees close in and obscure the view of the line and the former Lewis Merthyr colliery. Here 143602 heads up the Rhonnda Valley working 2T08 13:00 Cardiff Central to Treherbert.
One of the strangest and most memorable things I've lived through is being in Paris when France won the World Cup. The streets were absolutely transformed and I have many photos of people rejoicing (some that I have posted previously).
But, I also tend to be drawn to that opposite feeling and the bipolar sense that happens in reality. Because, it's such a strong current of collective consciousness when that many people are rooting for something that you actually forget it's about sports at all and it feels more about the collective spirit of France or even of humanity.
I could tell that this girl wanted to be a part of that with the way she had decorated her face and with the French flag she was holding but I think she didn't quite know how and that's an interesting thing to capture...maybe even more intriguing for me than all the wild dancing and singing. We are all young and awkward once and some of us know very intrinsically (even when we're older) precisely how this girl felt.

No, not this photo, but if I had managed to get there for the sunrise, who knows, it could have been award winning. If you follow Lynne Berry (and if you don't, why not?) then you will know that I agreed to met her and her donkey at this location for sunrise. The coloured light that morning was spectacular. I know because I viewed it for the whole journey from Craster to Lindisfarne. I just got there too late.But still, always fun capturing these upturned boat sheds and that castle.

Class winning 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron, with all the bells, whistles and Bling to set you well apart from the hoi-paloi in their Chevys and Fords.
Introduced for the 1931 model year, the Chrysler Series CG Imperial was larger, more powerful and more luxurious than its predecessor. Styled by Al Leamy, the Imperial CG borrowed heavily from the Leamy-designed Cord L-29, and featured a v-shaped radiator, an elongated hood, flowing fenders and a split windshield with a steeper rake than the Cord. Amenities included passenger sun visors, adjustable seats, an adjustable steering column, hydraulic brakes, vibration-dampening rubber engine mounts, rust-proofed body and fenders, and laminated safety glass.
Starting at 'only' $3,575 for a LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton, full-custom options hiked the price significantly higher. Given the state of the U.S. economy in 1931, it’s not surprising that a mere 85 LeBaron dual-cowl phaetons were ordered by customers.
Power for all CG Imperials came from a new 384.83-cu.in. straight-eight L-head engine, rated at 125 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The dash from 0 to 60 MPH took in the neighborhood of 20 seconds, and the plus-size Imperial, which measured 17 feet from stem to stern, was reportedly capable of hitting 96 MPH.

I waited for a train, but as you can see one never showed. Alas... I'll try again next time I'm in the area. This is a winning location for a train image in my opinion, but I do like the emptiness of this particular frame.
