Dove Holes

Having photographed the Buxton Spa Express as it passed Combs it was then a case of seeing whether I could get back to the car and traverse the single track road to Dove Holes in time for a second shot by the station.

In the event it was a very close run thing. It took ages to climb the hill to the car and then at Dove Holes there was nowhere to park. The exhaust from the locomotive looked very close and I finally abandoned the car by the station bridge and dived into the crowd by the parapet. No time to think, just lens cap off and shoot! I suspect that the sunny side would have been too tight for a decent view so I am quite happy with the result here.
