| 12:44:58 Lunch - Allports fish and chips in Porthmadog. | 12:52:06 Eating chips in the car (not nice enough weather to eat outside!). | 12:54:10 |
|
|
|
| 13:14:40 Here's the front of one of the Ffestiniog's trains. | 13:15:23 Close up on the diddy engine. | 13:16:03 |
|
|
|
| 13:27:54 Chie looking out expectantly. | 13:29:42 | 13:40:27 Can see the drivers here, just about. |
|
|
|
| 13:40:52 Taken from the train as it went along William Madocks' seawall. | 13:40:58 | 13:46:33 Chie looking like she is enjoying it! |
|
|
|
| 13:49:18 Nice old car parked in one of the little stations we passed through. | 14:01:31 We got this Clogau pendant in Porthmadog earlier today, containing some Welsh Gold. | 14:01:44 Chie looks quite happy with that too! |
|
|
|
| 14:05:07 | 14:05:12 A signal box. | 14:06:14 Hmmm... it was hard to get particularly good pictures from the train! |
|
|
|
| 14:07:28 | 14:11:53 As you can see the weather wasn't really at it's best! | 14:19:24 A gin and bitter lemon to warm me up a bit. |
|
|
|
| 14:40:29 This had to be the cutest of all the halts on the route - Campbell's Platform. | 14:48:34 Looking quite inclement out there. | 15:05:30 I was surprised to see there was still snow on the top of this mountain at the end of March. |
|
|
|
| 15:05:42 | 15:16:11 Here we are at the end of the run at Blaenau Ffestiniog. | 15:18:28 ...thankfully only had a few minutes here! |
|
|
|
| 15:23:17 The front of the train where we'd been sat previously now became the back of the train. | 15:29:04 Inside the carriage. | 15:44:18 Chie's glow-in-the-dark stripes on her coat in one of the tunnels. |
|
|
|
| 15:46:44 | 15:47:15 Trying to get a shot of the rest of the train as it went round a bend... | 15:48:15 |
|
|
|
| 15:48:19 | 15:50:26 | 15:58:57 ....hmmm this isn't bad... |
|
|
|
| 15:59:07 ....same thing with a bit of zooming in. | 15:59:16 Nice little station building there. | 16:19:57 |
|
|
|
| 16:22:47 Was a bit cold on the train on the way back. | 16:22:54 | 16:27:17 |
|
|
|
| 16:30:22 | 16:30:52 A rainbow as we're almost arriving back in Porthmadog again. | 16:40:00 Back in Porthmadog, and a chance to take a few anoraky pictures of the engines. |
|
|
|
| 16:40:08 | 16:43:00 Porthmadog harbour. | 16:43:21 |
|
|
|
| 16:43:28 | 16:43:40 | 16:43:51 Excellent "densha ottaku" (Japanese for train anorak) picture. |
|
| |
| 17:49:08 Sheep on the way back... | 17:49:23 ...and a bit of a sunset. |
