Llandudno 2014
 
We went for the three days and enjoyed every minute of it. The weather held despite the weathermen's predictions. There is so much to see and to do at the Victorian Extravaganza that it's hard to choose images to represent the atmosphere enjoyed here by thousands. There was also the vintage rally up on the field where hundreds of non-steam vintage vehicles were exhibited. The evening road runs with the trucks, buses and tractors were a delight in themselves. Many thanks to everyone who took part.

I managed to get an image of myself which is not easy. Do you think there is a likeness there to Prince Philip? I think the wave is the same :o

Been twice in the past, looked good this year.

As a passing thought, did any steam go round the Great Orm?

Great pics.
Missed the event this year as I had to be around a pool in Mexico drinking cervezas.

I don't think any steam attempted the Orme but I could be wrong. I forgot to mention that the minatures for the most part were up on the field with the trucks, tractors and buses etc. As we went on the road run, I saw some of them running along the pier, enjoying their own run on the flat.

I value the friendship of both you and your good lady and on balance I prefer to censor the photo of the struggle by your good lady to remove your pin and show instead the gallant young man who took your pin out on her behalf and the grateful look she gave him after the process was complete. It made his hair stand on end.

As ever David, a magnificent set of photos, Llandudno looks to be the seaside version of Trevithick Day.
