The Ribblehead Viaduct Points North - Proof

 Early start tomorrow, Monday.  Must be at Ribblehead for 0900 to join Network Rail's special day for the media to cover the current £2m maintenance work on the Ribblehead Viaduct,  By chance this astonishing image of the scaffolding being erected was published today by star photographer Pete Collins, taken on the night before the month long COVID lockdown.

That's Pete and his dog in the foreground and The Plough above them.  The two pointer stars on the right on The Plough show the way to the north Pole Star above.  As if proof was needed, this image shows for sure that the Ribblehead Viaduct points north!

There will be a lot more scaffolding there by now and I hope to be allowed to climb up it -with due supervision and regard for COVID rules of course.  It's TV in the morning and other invited media in the afternoon.
