Steam Railway Magazine Readers Weekend, September 2003

The appropriate incantations were performed in front of an effigy of Michael Fish, a sacrificial pint of Pedigree was consumed for all the gods of all known faiths (one for each god was considered but my bed was 20 miles from the Snowdonia Parc at Waunfawr), and lo! The sun shone (for a while)!  The day started ominously, the first photograph of the day was a total mess, the photographer does NOT know better than the exposure electronics in the camera, and the camera made it's point felt - things could only get better, it was a terrible photo of the Funkey leaving Caernarfon.  Prince took over the train at Dinas and I let the camera take the pictures, it seemed to do a better job!
