(26 Apr 2015, 7:19 pm)MurdnunoC I didn't bring a jacket, If I had I would have had it on straight away. Mind you there were people on my journey more daring than me. At least I was wearing a hooded top, there were a couple of guys just wearing t-shirts - hardcore!
The seats were canny comfortable though.

(26 Apr 2015, 7:33 pm)Jimmi For much of the day I had just a Fred Perry polo shirt on although when I headed upstairs on open top LFS296F I dug the jacket out my bag and put it back on and it was absolutely freezing heading towards Stockton on that
Photos will be on Flickr shortly then I may prepare a review

(26 Apr 2015, 7:55 pm)MurdnunoC Aye, I should have known what I was in for when the sign in the window said 'Stockton - via 'The Wilderness'. I presume 'The Wilderness' was that bit of post-industrial nothingness as you head from the Newport Bridge towards Thornaby. I was sat about three or four rows from the back on the way to Stockton but managed to grab the back seat as the bus headed back towards Middlesbrough. The back seats were nice and warm - probably due to the positioning of the engine.
I think I channelled a bit of your nervousness whilst being around other known enthusiasts. I was standing more or less next to Tyresmoke and Kuyoyo at one point but failed to introduce myself or speak to either of them. I can only put it down to the fact that I have very little interaction with either of them on the forum. I would have said hello to you but you seemed to be on whatever bus was departing just as mine was arriving.

(26 Apr 2015, 8:09 pm)Jimmi I rode the open topper from the Transporter all the way up to Yarm then back to Stockton, least the weather got a bit warmer once we got towards Stockton. Was quite a nice ride and was nice heading up to Yarm as it looks nice up there and I haven't been up that way before and was quite a nice ride.
I didn't speak to anyone whilst I was there today as I am rather nervous and I don't really have any other enthusiast activity besides posting on here and my Flickr so I don't really know who anyone is in the flesh. Yeah sadly that's the things often seem to go on these rally's, sometimes you see people you know and other times you'll go the whole day without seeing them even though they are at the rally, I did seem to be in different places to you most of the day judging by your postings you have made.

I'm gutted I didn't make it down there today. I'd been looking forward to it for a while, but it's best I don't travel out when I'm full of cold, as I'm generally in a bad mood at the same time.
Jimmi, I'm pretty sure I've seen you before taking photos near Millburngate! and obviously I bumped into AdamY at the Civic Centre that time.
Metrocentre next weekend, so I hope to see a few of you there! I'll be around most of the day... probably with a quick detour into the nearest 'spoons for some lunch!

(26 Apr 2015, 8:43 pm)Adam Same goes for me. I hope to be there next Monday, but I can be rather shy when it comes to approaching unfamiliar people, as there is this overriding immortal fear of it not being the person I think it is...
