It's been a while since my last update but life has an uncanny knack of getting in the way of fun. Hopefully things have settled down and we can get back to normal.
Today saw the 10th anniversary of the Flying Scotsman and they were passing through the area so we just had to have a drive out to watch the action.
We loaded the camera gear into TYO the MG3 and headed off to Carlton Moor where we found a pretty good vantage point.

Thanks to Pam for some of these great photos.
From there it was a quick run North to Bollihope Quarry near Stanhope for some more action. It was cold and windy here and the crews looked pretty uncomfortable after the treck across the moors. We know that feeling as the road is part of the Beamish Reliability Trial which we've done many times in Numbum and the weather is rarely good. With a more open road than Carlton they were moving a bit quicker.
From there it was a short run down to Stanhope where we found a pub for a bite to eat before the drive home.
