I try and get as many targets as I can first I plan Go North East then Arriva and Stagecoach I get as many tigers done even if it takes me days weeks or months only for Go North East then after that wean I get them all I tend to go for Stagecoach and Arriva depends which ones I need to get first
I think we have to remember here that Big Lugs is just a young lad. His parents or guardians probably would not be happy with him travelling all over the North East unaccompanied. I was about 13 when I got into spotting as a hobby. My parents would not let me go outside of Tyne & Wear. There were no mobile phones, internet or IPads at the time. So I had to find a phone box if I was going to be late home. On my longer trips my mother used to come with me. I'd go spotting and she'd go shopping then we'd meet up for dinner.
Personally I find Big Lugs's logs quite interesting as I like to try and figure out where he has been. It's a kind a brain teaser for bus enthusiasts. I'm wondering how far he got on PCL Travel 808 the other day.
I suppose my trips are weird and wonderful as Bus Lover Mum states, saying that I only made it as far as Sunderland yesterday! I didn't see any other enthusiasts either. The highlights of my trips are when I find an interesting old vehicle at the back of some small operator's yard or when I spot a non-psv operator which I have never heard of before.
