Photting The Duchess.

            46229 "Duchess Of Hamilton" sets out from Hellifield in volcanic style with the "Cumbrian Mountain Pullman" of the 28th May 1983. At the time I didn't know any spots further up the S&C and couldn't afford the petrol to go up there anyway, so I used to photograph the "Cumbrian Mountains" in and around Hellifield. It meant you could get lots of shots of the locos while waiting for the "bottom legs" from Carnforth to arrive and subsequently when the trains left for Carlisle. The only problem was you tended to get people in your shots, as here, but I thought this was worth uploading as this departure was so spectacular. The Duchess had recently gained the "Blue Riband" for the fastest climb to Ais Gill and was carrying the regalia on the front. Incidentally, Leander had brought the train in from Carnforth that day.
