Temperature inversion in Lunedale The fog has almost evaporated at this point but was still thick over Morecambe Bay and well to the south. The West Coast Main Line and M6 squeeze through the westernmost of the Yorkshire Dales, a narrow corridor between the Lake District National Park (foreground) and the Yorkshire Dales National Park over the river.
