Stanford bound.
Stanford bound.
Earlier than most I recognise, but as I have to cross the Irish sea I am setting off early. Spending a day with my dad in Cheshire then Stanford early doors on Sunday.
So it started at 4am this morning with a dark start and a break for the border, and down to Dublin port. 120 miles in just over 2hrs. Not bad for a 51 year old car that probably hasn't driven that far in the last 4 yrs.
Heading for Holyhead now and waiting on my fry up.
More photos to follow I hope

Having stopped in Conwy, I skipped Llandudno. That and the fact I was last there was for a job interview. I didn't get it!
I stopped into a restaurant to eat back then. Beautiful sunshine, great evening. All of a sudden the was a huge lightning storm that flooded the town. Small children were washed down the gutters and into the sea.

Before I knew it I was passing Rhyl. It brought back memories from over 30yrs ago.
Heading to"the sandcastle" water centre to ride the flumes as a prepubescent school boy. 9 up in my dad's old Volvo estate. 4 of us in the boot sat crossways. Transvision Vamp on the cassette player....
