I love it , too (and was born near Carnforth where the train scenes were filmed so it has an extre resonance for me) I just can’t abide cultural appropriation articles like this , which essentially says me and my mates like this vintage film so let’s say it’s having a ‘moment’; based on what ???

🧵 I headed up over Hutton Roof to Burton-in-Kendal and back through Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands. I made it back to Burton and Carnforth just before dark which was ideal and got back about 6:30pm. Not a bad ride see i didn't leave Lancaster until 1pm #cycling #Cumbria #Lancashire #LuneValley

OMG 🤬
A6 Carnforth traffic lights🚦at 4pm 😱
AVOID
Pulled into Truckhaven to find a back route to avoid it but not sure there is a back route without avoiding M6.
As it's nearly dark & raining I don't think we'll make it to the beach.
But I got milk so may just pull in somewhere & brew up.

So what *actually* has been achieved by removing motorway regulations and the hard shoulder?
Long overdue maintenance, but other than to slap houses along it there was no reason for losing the blue signs. You still can't cycle or walk along here legally.
NH still haven't touched the signs on M6.

Today I’ve had a bit of a day out with no plan…
Started with walk from Arnside to Silverdale. Then headed to Carnforth and onto the S&C!
Today was about trying to rediscover the fun of travelling by train!

Absolutely fantastic to see & hear 71000 The Duke out yesterday.
Shame she was failed at Carnforth due to her valve gear.
Can’t believe some people moaning about it.
There’s going to be teething issues after 13 years out
