(29 Apr 2016, 8:31 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote I'm still debating whether to go or not, Unfortunately I'm another one affected a bit by anxiety as not one person I know ( excluding family ) knows that I'm even interested in Buses, Never mind photographing them. And no one knows I have Asperger's either, Though this shouldn't affect me.
The reason I'm anxious is that the Metrocentre is too close, And I know loads of mates who go out to the metty on some weekends, So I'm worrying incase I get spotted.
All this above also explains why I always travel distances to take photos as I know I'm not going to be spotted.
Sorry to put a dampener on everyone but I couldn't help it
Avoid the X66 (easy to do, if you go to Eldon Square, first, even on a Sunday- or even catch the train) and once you get there, it's easy enough to nip off the the coach park, over the bridge. If you get seen crossing the bridge, you need to go and meet someone you know who is coming over from elsewhere (not a lie!) or you thought it might be a good place to go look for inspiration for a present for someone you know (there'll be plenty of stalls). No one who doesn't have any interest would be in the coach park, anyhow, and the event is massive, so it's easy to mill along, fairly unnoticed.
