The weather man must have shares in BP and Shell. Hardly the forecast lighting conditions this afternoon, but certainly better light than the approach shot. 60103 passes increasing forestation at the summit.

The long climb almost over as Colas Railfreight class 70 locomotive 70817, approaches the summit of the Settle & Carlise line at Ais Gill at 1,169ft (356m), at the head of the 6J37 12.52 Carlisle Kingmoor Yard-Chirk Kronospan Works (19.28).
5th September 2023
The poor weather continued for the southbound leg of The Cumbrian Mountain Express on the 15 July last. You could not see 45690 Leander and her train traversing Mallerstang, so close in and very wet feet where the order of the day I am afraid. The sanders are on and the Jubes exhaust mixes with the low cloud and drizzle as she passes under the normally crowded road bridge and on towards the summit.
Thankfully a couple pints of cumbrian bitter and a lovely meal awaited Gill and I back at "The Royal" in Kirkby Lonsdale once we had dried out.

The ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park[clarification needed] is a peace park straddling the border between South Africa and Namibia. It was formed in 2003 by combining the Namibian ǀAi-ǀAis Hot Springs Game Park and the South African Richtersveld National Park. Most of the South African part of the park forms part of the buffer zone of the Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape World Heritage Site, which measures 5,920 square kilometres (2,290 sq mi).[2] The Fish River Canyon is located in the park, the largest canyon in Africa.[2] A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 17 August 2003 by the presidents of South Africa and Namibia, which formalized the establishment of the park.[2]
The general area consists of rugged kloofs and high mountains. The land is harsh, while water is generally scarce, the air is kept moist by early morning fog. The Nama locals call the fog that comes in from the Atlantic Ocean ‘Ihuries’ or ‘Malmokkies’.[4] The Park is regarded as a unique mega-ecosystem in the world. In a one square kilometer area more than 360 different plant species can be found in a place that experiences an average rainfall of only 68 mm per year.[3] The vegetation in |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park consists of unique plant life, such as the bastard quiver tree, ‘half-mens’ or half human, and tall aloes.[4] The half-mens is typified by an unbranched, cylindrical stem, which can reach heights of up to 4m. The top has a tuft of branches. The local Nama community hold the half-mens tree in high regard, believing that the human-like figure it assumes is their ancestors longing for the Namibian home.[3] Thks to Wikipedia

6J37: Carlisle New Yard to Kronospan at Chirk, trainload of logs.
The Chirk Logs ran about 10 minutes late today and as a result the two views at Ais Gill were taken about an hour apart and show just how quickly the weather can change up there!
