TRUCKFEST AND LLANDUDNO PLUS BLACKPOOL WOW

So much going on this weekend it really is the big one with exhaustive coverage of some fantastic transport events weather permitting. It looks as if the only really difficult day will be Sunday at Llandudno but so often the town has it's own micro climate with the rain falling on the mountains but it's often cold and windy and that is probably a certainty given that we've had yet more snowfall today. Anyway we've nailed our colours to the mast as they say and I've downloaded my eticket for truckfest on Sunday, the weather should be dry but cloudy but ending up brighter as we stay on to record around 2000 lorries departing, magic. The Llandudno day is the most at risk but we'll do our best and fingerts crossed that the evening run around the Great Orme takes place. Tomorrow Saturday we are going up to Blackpool, although not as good as promised a couple of days back it shouldn't be that cloudy and brightening later, we'll cover both the trams and buses, there should be a 10 min heritage service on.

Today I managed to do a slightly longer walk although the weather was damp and i only just made it home before the snow came down. The rest of the day I've tried to get the ball rolling on the charity walk, please go to our just giving site and back me in this endeavour, it's one hell of a walk with a lot more practice to get in. I've spent the afternoon copying some more of the 16mm cine film, I'll be picking up fresh supplies from Cleethorpes next week.There has been some very interesting films passed through the projector today, a Costains film on the Thames Barrier and a Cementation film on their piling activities - at the moment Europe by Train a BTS film is going through in the background, chaps on his way to Moscow now from Holland!

Catching up still with our South Wales trip we have some more photos this time with Neath and Bridgend. The Sparrowhawk in our garden is taking a goldfinch a day at present perhaps I'll have to put him on a diet, here is a shot taken 5 minutes ago, well it's nature I'm afraid, getting like Spring Watch if it wren't snowing all the time!
