Exploring The Area

[hollins]

I had a great day out in Manchester yesterday.
I'll let the photos tell the tale!

Nice pics, apart from the last one  :puke2: :puke2:

O'h SDQ, how cruel.....

[Fester]

The Festers were in Manchester too at the weekend.

We attended a Jewish wedding (those guys really know how to throw a party) and we stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Deansgate.

We will be back there in a few days for two nights..... one of them for the mighty Motorhead gig! 

WOOOOAAAARRGGHHHH!!!

Hollins, you must have been sitting only a few rows behind my season ticket on Tuesday evening. 

[hollins]

oooo.......lucky you Bri.
I was in the family stand, W212 Row 19 Seat 6.
It was a great view from there, above the tunnel and below the ITV studio. I saw Adrian Chiles having his hair done!

[Bri Roberts]

With that view I did wonder if you were actually in the TV Studio.

My season ticket is further down in the front row of the upper tier opposite the penalty spot.

Block 121, Row 1.

It was a great comeback by the home team

Nice photos, Andy. Are you using Nikon technology once again? 

[Merddin Emrys]

It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ150, a Which best buy, I also intend getting another pocket Nikon (via Ebay) to replace the last one that had the unfortunate accident involving a loo, a very common incident I am told!    the small Nikon produced some great pics for the size of it.

Beautiful pictures ME and you've captured two seasons in two days as well.  I was going to ask what camera you were using but Dave beat me to it.     

[Merddin Emrys]

Thanks Dave and Hugo  .

Bodnant yesterday, Welsh Highland Railway today, from Porthmadog to Beddgelert return. There was snow on the road from Betws y Coed to Blaenau

Crimea Pass is always a place to be careful of when there is snow around.   I've had to turn back from my journey to B F on a few occasions.   It is a bit earlier than usual for me but my wellies, a blanket, spare fuel, gloves, thick coat, thick socks and a shovel are all going in the boot of the car in the next day or so.  Be prepared as the Scouts say!

Lovely photos, ME. 

Family in the Blaenau area said that their problem was about 3" of frozen hail!
