New Adventure Travel's latest commercial venture in Newport is Service N4 (Bettws-City Centre-Moorland Park-Spytty Park), which began on 1st February 2016. This competes on both sections with Newport Bus services, those these terminate in the City Centre, and again uses vehicles that would otherwise be idle during the school off-peak period.
The regular performers so far are a trio of relatively new Optare MetroCitys transferred from Skewen depot, and five Scania OmniCitys. The latter were new to Stagecoach's London fleets and were acquired last Summer from Ensignbus. Most have since been converted from dual to single-door configuration and all have recently received "crosscity" and N4 branding.
754 is rounding the Old Green Interchange in the City Centre in this early February 2016 shot, whilst the lady in the red anorak is no doubt wondering where she went wrong when trying to cross the road !

I'm not quite sure of the details but I see that MET Coaches is now operating as Venture Transport (Hendon)(1965) Limited, an operation most recently associated with Hearns. Volvo B8R Plaxton Leopard YX68 TZZ was in Brighton this afternoon, 3rd September, 2022.

Truly enjoying the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm F1.4 MC lens. It renders images in a way that is reminiscent of film. View other shots taken with this lens here.

Johnny Thunder and the company are looking for the another adventure. Where they are swimming? I hope I'll show you next year.
The ship is loosely inspired by S.S. Venture form Peter Jackson's King Kong. It's about 75 studs long. And it doesn't float. :-)
no often you get things relatively right to start with and
with quality and angle of light like that my expectation were running high..no to mention my itchy fingers-What a bike!!!

We had started sheltering under the trees from a downpour, but as it eased the girls and their mum ventured out onto the sand, and I started off with the long lens...
Whilst on our trip to Cornwall in October 2020, we decided to venture up to the lovely village of Helford, not far from The Lizard.
It means driving up lots of narrow lanes and roads to get to it, but once you’re there it’s idyllic. The river is called the Helford, hence why the village was given this name.
My lasting memory of Helford is etched on my brain. Back in April 1968, having been on a Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Bulwark, we anchored off the Lizard and my squadron of Wessex V’s disembarked to go and spend some time at the naval air station at Culdrose. The ship then went on up to Portsmouth we didn’t get to join it again until the middle of May of that year.
Having been in the Far East for close on two years, seeing the green of England again was truly beautiful. I sat in the front seat next to my pilot, Lt Brian Woods, and we flew down the Helford river and I watched completely transfixed by the fields, and sheep, the cows and the boats! Such a memorable experience and I’ve never forgotten it. Aged just 21 a couple of weeks earlier, this was one of those occasions that always brings back fond memories.
I’d never actually been to Helford since that journey so it was good to go, at last, to see the village. I suspect that it’s not changed very much in the fifty odd years since I flew down the river, but the house prices are probably significantly higher!
I hope you enjoy the photographs of the village.
After rain since dawn, when it finally stopped in the early evening, we ventured out for fresh air. And how lovely to see the misty effects down on Baty's Marsh, along by the river Medway - plus the unmistakeable silhouette of Rochester castle.

Wellington. Population 1,800.
Explorer George Evans, Deputy Surveyor for NSW ventured down to Macquarie River valley in 1814. He was followed by explorer John Oxley in 1817 and an outpost of government and white occupation was established where Wellington now stands. These early illegal squatters had taken up runs as the convict depot opened in 1822 but most came in the early 1830s after the convict depot’s closure and the beginnings of the mission era. Later they became leaseholders and the white pioneers of the district.
One of the early pastoralists who took up a run near the convict settlement was Joseph Montefiore, a Jewish businessman and speculator from London. He arrived in NSW in 1829 and in 1834 he received a land grant (free) of 2,560 acres in the Wellington Valley. He called his property Nanima and he asked for assigned convicts to work on his property which he soon increased by 1,000 acres and by 1838 he owned 12,500 acres. He had other properties and as a banker, merchant and investor in copper mines he eventually settled in the new colony of South Australia in 1846 hence Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide. This site was named after his investor brother Jacob Montefiore, one of the SA Colonisation Commissioners. Joseph Montefiore left the colony of South Australia in 1860 and returned to London. But back in 1838 Joseph Montefiore decided to establish a village on his lands called Montefiores two miles from the former convict depot and Church Mission. But this plan failed and in 1846 there were only two houses, two hotels and four stores in the village. By 1858 the town was partially demolished and little remained as the nearby government town of Wellington was being established. Little survived in Montefiores except for the Lion of Waterloo Hotel which is still standing. It was first licensed in 1842 and built the year before by a Belgian named Nicholas Hyeronimus who previously lived in Molong. The hotel retains its vernacular Georgian style. Nicholas Hyeronimus became the Member of Parliament for wellington and died in 1860. Although the license was never cancelled it started re-operating as a licensed hotel in 1993 after new owners had done a restoration between 1989 and 1993. The big problem with Montefiores was that all land was leased land and settlers could not buy freehold land. This limited their willingness to build other than bush shanties. During the early years Captain Charles Sturt visited Wellington Valley in 1828 and reported on the limestone caves. Sturt was not impressed but scientific explorations began in the late 1860s. The caves since then, with their many steps, has become a tourist attraction. Apart from cave formations the earth beneath wellington also contained gold. A small rush to the area occurred in 1856 followed by a bigger and longer one from 1869 to 1881 when companies with deep shafts extracted gold worth over £26,000. Wellington was not a major gold field district.
Government land sales for Wellington began in 1846 but with no rush of buyers. (Wellington was named just after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 in honour of the Duke of Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon.) A few years later it had several general stores, a hotel, Courthouse and a few houses. Public structures came much later. The foundation stone of the Anglican Church designed by architect Edmund Blacket was laid in 1865. It was completed in 1867.The Catholics built a temporary structure in 1859 and started erected their stone church in 1864. A National School opened in Wellington in 1861 but was replaced with a bigger one in 1864 and again in 1867. The Bank of NSW opened their first branch in 1865. As time moved on more hotels opened making a total of four by 1874, along with wheelwrights, butchers, bakers, harness makers, brewery and a newspaper etc. In 1877 the railway from Bathurst and Sydney reached the town. The railway station opened in 1880 and the new Post Office officially opened in 1904.

Financed by Baron Typhonus and supervised by Doctor Overbuild, the newly-formed Build Alliance designed and constructed the Venture Koi to locate the Imagination Nexus of LEGO Universe.
Using the cinematic trailer and promotional posters for reference, this is the most authentic depiction of the Venture Koi.
Seen in Bailey's Drydock, there's a lot in this photo of a classic coaster.
