Re: Today in pictures

The road into Shap village.
The memorial stone on the top of Shap was officially opened by the lady who used to have the job of winding the clock, she lived in a cottage lower down.
I suppose I am one of the drivers that the stone pays tribute to.

Has anybody seen this little monument, it is situated about a mile north of Broughton traffic lights on the A6, it is on the right hand side just before the first house at the top of the small rise in the road.
I remember slowing down to take the picture and show my wife the stone, other drivers had no patience and blew their horns.

The last photo is the first tanker I drove over Shap on my way to Dounreay (near John O' Groats for those who don't know) power station. A weeks work there and back.

Am I boring you again with lorry photos, I have another 2342 to go yet, don't temp me.
