I didn't leave myself a lot of time but it was a nice afternoon. Disappointed to see no platform tickets available, so I had to busy myself with the bridges instead - wasn't worth the cost of a full ticket for the hour or so I was there.

As always, couldn't resist a hand-made panorama / montage call it what you will. I had a second row that added more depth but the angles were too different to work properly.

Hi Mike, nice shots.

I was there too yesterday, and had the same problem you did! I only took a couple of shots though.

Don't suppose you were in Cricceth on the Saturday were you as I saw a fellow with a Pentax?

Cheers. No, not me in Criccieth - those at Llangollen were on Saturday, not Sunday. I do keep meaning to give myself more time and explore more than a few hundred yards either side of the station.

Nice shots

I was not aware of this being one despite living only a few miles away

K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Hoping to get there this summer, try the climbs, then photographing climbers...if all goes to plan.

Getting there! Thanks to you guys
