They were closed as we drove past, she'd have had to put shoes and clothes on to get there as well !

He'd have had a bigger rant if he had seen what I saw earlier this week. By the gate to St Tudno's there is a small car park, often used overnight by camper vans. As I stood by the gate, a pair of bare feet dropped down between the sea view and the camper, followed by a bare bottom which promptly did a huge puddle, then hopped back into the van!

That's not on Nemesis      &shake&     would you be able to recognise the culprit if they had an ID parade?

Eeeeew! The very thought! I imagine there will be worse up there after this weekend. There are often campers at that spot !

Is there a date on the photo ?

Is the passing place in the same location today ?  Or is my memory failing me ?

Sorry Mull, no date, titled "Llandudno's Great Orme tram"  looking again at the photo, I have noticed the two men on top of the car ?  the car in the distance might give a clue ?

Happy New Year Mull, hope that you are safe and warm up there.

There's nothing wrong with your memory, the passing place is still in the same spot and there is another passing place on the section between the summit and the half way station.   If you look closely at the tram you can see the passing place at the back of the tram.

A few years ago at roughly that spot a tram collided with a campervan and took part of its roof off
