A super day our, long but rewarding. The van was picked up at homer about 11am this morning. I set off at 6.15 am straight up to Carlisle, found a car park near the city centre and straight to the bus stops near the market but the sun was even wrong in the morning but shifted back around in bus station direction and all was well with lots of activity and some oldies I guess on schools. The bus station , well I saw no movements at all. Retraced my steps via M&S and a coffee and cake ( shhh diet day don't tell Mandy). I took the road out which goes to Newcastle which took me to the industrial estate where Stobarts etc are locvated and found a spiot to park on the A69 just past the roundabout which was very convenient. Mainly used spots I used on my first visit, much easier in unbroken sunshine. I was really getting warm, steadied out at 17 in Carlisle but 20 in Penrith which was my second location. Lots of flashing lights and toots, brilliant day if a long one. Must find March bus film in Cumbria to match it up, then should be at least 2 truck films. Very busy tomorrow Queens birthday at St Oswalds I'm on the door and we have cake plus my film show. In the day I'm working on the drive again and we have friend Sue joining us for the evening festivities. We got the trading figures finalised for 2015, much the same as in the previous few years but with less rallies reflecting the internet trade which I guess is the trend. Really rallies and running days don't pay their way very often and the fanciful charges for stands are more related to the 1990s than now. I'll try and tuck in some events as a punter , coming up Llandudno and Truckfest. South Wales buses next week, looks welltimed if there is a Cardiff bus war! Comments are closed.
