As we sit on our train waiting for the late-running 1430 departure from Ravenglass, River Esk arrives with the train from Dalegarth

River Mite, Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway
Having arrived at Dalegarth, our locomotive River Mite is turned on the turntable ready to take the train back to Ravenglass, but we are going for a walk down to the river.
