Let it happen bass player.
Yet another excellent day for weather and because there's more to life than trains, today would be a day for bagging fells.
A very enjoyable 11 mile walk from Linton, red-penning Thorpe Fell Top, then Cracoe obelisk on Cracoe Fell and then Rylstone Cross before returning to Cracoe obelisk and dropping down to Cracoe to return via Threapland to Linton.
And quite by chance and in no way planned, 60076 CROSS FELL was spotted on 6D50 on Real Time Trains. So Rylstone Cross was a good place to sit and eat crisps and watch its progress from Sandy Beck, under bridges, over bridges, to its destination at Rylstone Quarry.
It's seen here approaching Rylstone village with the Malhamdale hills of Pikedaw and Kirkby Fell top centre and Ingleborough coming into scene top right. All conquered many times.
60076 CROSS FELL, 6D50, 10.11 Hunslet to Rylstone.
I've been into trains and music for as long as I've been into rambling and an early memory is doing the Great Ridge above Edale in 1981 and looking down on a class 40 working a cement train from much the same distance and height.
