| A very gloomy break at Tebay, plenty of low, dark cloud and rain. A couple of light engine movements were the highlight of the 45 mins or so I spent overlooking the WCML and M6 on 3rd June.
The next day included a brief visit to Carnforth, including seeing the famous clock and refreshment room. A few of WCRC's stored locomotives were viewed from a public footpath. |
