With the UK on corona virus lock down, Government guidance allows us to go out for 1 hours exercise per day to prevent the spread and 'flatten the curve', and even then this has to be near your home. Realistically, this limits me to a stretch of the S&C and a very short section of the WCML. With no freight on the northern half of the S&C today I headed to Shap for the regular 4S44 Daventry -Mossend. I assumed there must be an issue with traction because the working was loosing time from the moment it hit the climb around Carnforth. When it did appear, 66429 was working very hard a little over walking pace with 66122 DIT. With only a few hundred yards to go to the summit the plucky DRS loco has a well earned rest in sight.
