Well, it’s been a very dull, cold and miserable day here in the Pennines. So much so I’ve taken the first day off in 46 straight days and not even bothered to try and get my daily 5 mile walk in. Instead, I’ve been glued to the office, editing picture after picture, sorting out paperwork and invoicing clients (the ‘fun’ bit of paperwork!) plus researching options for trips to sunnier climes. Looking at tomorrow’s forecast I doubt I’ll be doing much differently – apart from being back in the walking treadmill. I’ve still plenty of editing to do as well as writing part 3 of my round Britain trip for RAIL magazine. Once that’s done and the weather shows signs of recovering I can think about stretching my wings once more.

One series of photographs I did manage to sort out were those from a press trip to visit the HS2 tunnel construction site at Bamford in North Warwickshire. You can find the full selection of pictures by following this link. One of them is today’s picture. Here’s a peek inside the Northbound of the twin-bore tunnels which will stretch 3.5 miles to Washwood Heath in Birmingham.

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
