Beddgelert, in Snowdonia, is yet another of our regular haunts, but the clear blue sky and superb weather around Easter were too tempting.
During the Easter visit, we were chasing a train around the southern end of the Glaslyn Pass, and the weather was very good for the shots. The two Double Fairlie locomotives from the Ffestiniog ("David Lloyd George" and "Merddin Emrys") were guesting on the Welsh Highland, and there were a fair few photographers around. The intended location was out because of the direction of the sun, so we headed on to Nantmawr halt, not one of my usual photography spots but not bad if the traffic is quiet.
We went out to Beddgelert itself at the bank holiday weekend for a walk up the Glaslyn Pass to the village, however the car park was full of camper vans which seemed to have been sneakily overnighting for the weekend. There were spaces up in the village though, so we did the circular walk down to the railway bridge and back up via Gelerts Grave and shot a few landscape pics along the way.
Though we didn't go out with the intention of taking any train pics, when one was passing we returned to another location used in the past, luckily the path was quiet at this point so nobody else wandered into shot.
