Ffestiniog Interactive II Gala, May 2003

A late decision was made to go to the Ffestiniog Interactive Gala in May 2003 (as in a couple of days beforehand!) This was due to the strange reluctance of the FR and Suffolk Trianon Music Group to avoid events clashing, meaning I had to baby-sit on Saturday evening :-(

For a change, I was not alone but had my son James with me, so the locations targeted had to be more easily accessible, otherwise I would have plenty of moaning following a three mile hike in the pouring rain. Anyway, an early start on Sunday got us to Tanybwlch by late morning where we spent a while watching trains pass and educating James in the art of not upsetting fellow photographers whilst still getting a decent picture!
