Pointless exercise ... well nearly.
I've never been a great believer in partaking of a large cooked breakfast, then wasting it all by walking it off. However, in the interest of obtaining more interesting 'modern' bus shots, I thew caution to the wind and trekked to a suitable place to record the passing of Arriva's open top service between Capel Curig and Pen-y-pass. That's where the plan foundered somewhat. The open top Scania (or whatever) turned up at the appointed time ... masquerading as an Alexander bodied Dennis Dart, and worse still, not even in fleet livery but blighted by an overall ad. To compound the misery, it was travelling so fast that It's now slightly blurred ... think I'll take up stamp collecting. Would have looked quite good here I think, particularly if the sun was out.
