Descending towards Criccieth... another sweeping view.

...and then the destination heaves into view close enough to get a decent photo of it.

Views I know very well. The beach on the other side of Criccieth Castle is a pebble beach, with a high sea wall along the beach front which I have climbed up many times down the years.

Didn't go that far, but did of course have to walk right past the castle while on the way to the railway station.

I recommend the Castle Fish & Chips shop just across the street on the way up to the castle!

Bit late now as it's six years since we were there!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

For next time then! Very tasty chips!

🙂
No idea how long it might be before I can get back to there, though...

At least now next time if you do go back, you know the best place to get some chips 😉

True...
Need to find a new stream of income, first, though!!!
( Legitimately of course... )

Same here tbh, I just hope the boss doesn't put down my hours when the new minumim wage starts, as then I most definitely would have to quit and find work elsewhere!
13-03-2025 9:27 PM
...at least you still have a boss!!!

There's that yes!

Meanwhile...
...if you spot the retro BEA liveried Airbus going in or out of Ringway, I'd advise aiming a zoom lens at it to capture the image for posterity. It's scheduled for withdrawal at the end of this calendar year...

Luckily my SLR has a good zoom lens 😊

It was last at Ringway overnight 9th / 10th March, so it must be due for another rotation there soon... they like to try to get it on as many A319 routes as they can.
Guessing you know how to search forwards for it?
Just Google G-EUPJ then click on the Flight Radar 24 result - which would usually be one of the first two or three results. Should show you the schedule for it for at least the following 48 hours.

Unfortunately there's no flights to Manchester for it yet! Looks like I'll need to get the loooooooooooong lens out 😁

It's due there on Wednesday evening, but the timing would probably require you to be at the actual airport for lighting reasons.
BA1398 from Heathrow 17.35 to Ringway 18.40
BA1405 departing Ringway 19.05.
Those times will, of course, be gate times rather than wheels up and wheels down times.

So lovely to be the last to post💕

Blimey - haven't seen you around for a while! 😀
How's things?
