Friday morning was dull and a bit drizzly so we hummed and ahhed about a trip into the North Yorkshire Moors to visit the autumn steam gala that is being held over the next three days by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. We decided to risk it and it didn’t turn out too bad a day with just a little light rain at times but we did get some sunny spells in the afternoon.
On the journey to the Moors the area around York is still showing signs of all the heavy rain with the rivers still in flood. It can be quite difficult to spot the difference between the river and the fields.
Once into the Moors the effects of the last week’s rainfall were less obvious as all the water has now flowed into the major rivers around York.
Sue’s camera had a very busy day capturing our visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as you can see from the collage of pictures below. She even managed to capture the odd train!
The steam trains fit into the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors scenery pretty well too.
