The story of shap

Really enjoyable film.

I guess Shap is the UK’s equivalent to Tahir, although Tahir is around 9,000’ to Shap’s 1350’

Also different road surfaces with Shap being tarmac & Tahir originally just graded dirt. Although with snow cover from November to March/April the underlying road surface didn’t really matter, Tahir was smoother running in winter.

Some of the more modern motors in the Shap film made it over Tahir:- The odd Mandator, Guy Invincible, Atkinson were to be seen, and some even made it back to the UK.

The film brings back memories of how cold winter can get, even in a wagon with an efficient heater in it.
