07/02/18 - On hire to Rail Operations Group (ROG) from DRS, 57301 'Goliath' with Northern's 319424 working 5Q36 Loughborough Brush - Stafford - Allerton | Barrow Upon Soar
37884 ‘Cepheus’ passes Ponthir with Merseyrail Units 507003 & 507023 for scrapping , running as 5Q78 06.05 Birkenhead TMD to Newport Docks Unimetals. Monday 16th December 2024.
An hour earlier, I stood on top of Coltraiseal Beag, overlooking the southernmost tract of the sprawling Loch Ròg, generally not expecting the day to get much better. I'd climbed the hill with a new paraglider that I really needed to take out for a proper thermic flight so that I could decide whether it handled in a way I'd enjoy if I kept it, but the weather didn't appear to be working in my favour. A perfect 'street' of clouds had formed, starting almost above my head and extending for miles, like an aerial spine, north through the heart of the island. If I were soaring near them I'd be almost guaranteed to remain there, harnessing the converging, rising air caused by sea-breeze from both east and west coasts being drawn in to replace the warm air that was being cooked off the land in the sun; the problem was, getting off the ground in the first place. No wind, or a little puff in an awkward direction, and most of the land below the hill in the shadow of the very clouds that I desperately wanted to be climbing underneath, left me resigned to the probability of my vertical journey only having one direction. The sun did break through, but yet there was no wind, not even a cycle of a thermal rolling up the face of the hill. Frustrated by the midgies, and overheating in the sun, I took off my down jacket, packed it in my harness, then clipped back in ready for the 'sled-run' back to the car. Finally, a breeze rolled up the hill; at least now my short flight wouldn't have to start with a clumsy sprint across rocky and uneven ground. As I pulled on the wing to kite it into the breeze, I realised it was a strong gust, and before I knew it I was airbourne. The assessment of the grace of the launch was dismissed quickly as I realised it might just be possible to soar a little after all.
Ten minutes of searching the face of the hill for lift paid off, and ten minutes later again, I found myself popping out of the side of a cloud here, 1200m above Loch Ròg. To the west, I looked down on clouds that had formed below me, ode to the dampness of the air nearer the coast, and surveyed a view out to the Atlantic Ocean. To the south-west the unmistakeable profile of St Kilda loomed on the horizon; to the north and west the islands and coastline Loch Ròg and the south-west Lewis coast were laid out before me, and below my feet; to the north-east the moorland of Lewis extended seemingly endlessly; and to the south-east, the mountains of Harris competed with the profiles of Skye and Wester Ross for my attention.
Now in air 10 degrees cooler than the top of the hill, compounded by soaring through the damp air in the shadow of the base of the clouds, I was simultaeneously elated at where I was, and shivering at being in an effective termperature close to zero degrees, with nothing more than a thin wool top on. And so it was but a brief visit to the Hebridean heavens, but now I've seen what's possible I know I'll be back to explore more of it..
This view looks along Loch Ròg Beag, below, with Great Bernerary half in sun a little in from the right of the frame. The beach in the distance near the centre of the frame is Traigh na Berigh, and a little bit of Traigh Uige can be seen at the far left of the frame. I'll tag some of the places of interest on the photo once uploaded.

Some might not know how my handle on flickr came about. I'm Roger and my wife is Yvonne—hence Rogvon. What started out as a shared account to share pictures soon got monopolised by yours truly.
About this shot. Portra 400 1/30sec. Shot in Sou Sou in Kyoto as my wife was trying on her shoes.
