Commentating

Interesting day yesterday (Bank Holiday Monday).  I had drawn the short straw and found myself at the microphone describing the sights of the S&C to 400 people on a seriously big double-headed 'proper' train from Didcot to Appleby (long story).



For once the mouthpiece and the PA system worked perfectly for 11/12ths of the carriages.  No dried spit and digestive biscuit crumbs in the microphone this time - Pathfinder trains efficiency.

Only trouble was the location of the apparatus.  It and I were in a cupboard in coach 4 with limited views to the right of the train only.  Imagination and recall were required for the views to the left!  Here is the train approaching Cragg Hill Farms between Hellwith Bridge and Horton-in-Ribblesdale:
