PWLLHELI & CAERNARFON. A Day Of Two Halves.
A couple of weekends back, I decided on a day in Wales at the sea side. Trains and buses were the transport options, a sit back and relax sort of journey.
Transport
SKIPTON. Saturday Is Market Day.
Inspired by a friend’s recent visit to the town I chose Skipton, market town and North Yorkshires gateway to the Dales. I travelled over by train, a favoured mode of transport, yes I know a glutton for punishment but to be fair I’ve had a lot more good journeys than bad. The route was up to Lancaster then across through Carnforth ” yes Brief Encounter territory ” then across the Pennines, joining the bottom of the Settle & Carlisle route before dropping into Skipton.
LLANDUDNO. A Victorian Extravaganza By the Sea.
Well here’s a bit of a Saturday photobomb from the recent Bank Holiday weekend. I spent the day in Llandudno on the North Wales coast as it was the resort’s annual Victorian Extravaganza Weekend. The weather had decided to be in a genial, welcoming mood which did its bit to help bring the crowds in to enjoy the three day event. Anyway they say a picture is worth a thousand […]

So that said I decided on a trip out to Coniston in the Lake District, I hadn’t been out that way for quite a while so it would be an interesting catch up.
LIVERPOOL. Meeting Up With Darragh.
How does the old song go? “Don’t know why, there’s no sun up in the sky, Stormy weather. Well it certainly was on Saturday as Storm Darragh blew into town. I had thought about staying in under my own roof for the day but there’ll be time enough and more for that soon enough. I thought that a quickish trip into Liverpool, grab a coffee and a nice cake would […]
LANCASTER. Lighting Up For Christmas.
Okay, so picking up from the Kirkby Lonsdale entry. I landed back into Lancaster in the early evening. It was dark now though the rain had eased quite a bit. I needed the bus out to Morecambe and my B&B but as they are quite frequent I thought I’d take a walk around the celebrations for the switching on of the city’s Christmas lights, grab something to eat and a […]
