Pendle Fellsman
60007 Sir Nigel Gresley approaching what was Rimington Station with the Chester to Carlisle Fellsman excursion. Seen from Swanside Bank with Pendle Hill as a partial backdrop. Not quite where I planned to be due to traffic delays on the way up to Downham. But sunshine and steam and a decent walk to follow so not too bad at all 🙂
