The good news is that I am sort of half way there on the decorating front with one room finished, now I have to decant the contents of the other front room into this one and start all over again!

Once the decorating is done I can get back to some modelling. It has not been all hard work however as we sneaked off to Wales for a few days last week which culminated in another trip to Dinowig. This time I started from the top. From the big bus turning circle just passed Dinorwig village there is a nice level track that takes you right into the heart of the upper quarry. Again, all the pictures were taken safely from the correct side of the quite substantial fence. Although this section of the quarry is undoubtedly very impressive there is not as much infrastructure remaining unlike the lower levels I explored last time so a very different feel.

 

At the end of the track there is a purpose made viewpoint which gives a great view down to the lakes.5DV_9311.JPG.fabbaf42a41511dd09511fac75b88090.JPG5DV_9316.JPG.3c4bf5c23378a8cc4ea07fe6a8334541.JPG

And when you turn around;

There are still a few interesting bits lying around like these rubbish wagons'5DV_9330.JPG.80ae04af3b812b26eff2315272690e45.JPG

And a few more views;

In this last one you can just see the fixed end for a Blondin ropeway with the cable still hanging down.
