Th RP, having been idle since Christmas, apart from one excursion to Wrexham about 3 weeks ago, and, despite today being dismal and wet, I nevertheless decided to take it over to Penrhyndeudraeth to attend the lunch to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Meirionnydd Classic Car Club, held at Castell Deudraeth.
Notwithstanding the weather, I was disappointed to discover that the Seven was the only classic car there, in spite of a turnout of 25 members plus guests.
Young Leon accompanied me.
As bonus, however, lunch at the Castell also gave you a free pass to Port Meirion. Leon had never been there before, so we spend a fairly damp afternoon looking round.
We came back over the mountains via Blaenau Ffestiniog, the last half of the journey in the dark.
I took both the Leicas with me, hoping to get some shots with the 35mm Leica lll (which is only a year younger than the Seven) but it was too miserable. However, given the criticism I have had using the Kodak, here are some photos taken with the digital Leica to keep you all amused:
The Seven outside Castell Deudraeth
The entrance to Port Meirion
View of the village from the viewing platform
View of the centre of the village.
For those who have never been, Port Meirion is one of the wonders of Wales and is well worth a visit.
