Fast Break - The First Stop
|
|
It was still on the M61 I believe when we flooded the first station with Pumas.
There was already some waiting, too, and the sun was getting much
brighter.
|
|
There wasn't really much to take any good pictures off at a breakfast, except maybe
the increased crowd. Since we were still going
all nicely in single file we were probably already turning heads all over M61. Soon
we had left that one though and were travelling north on M6, to pick up some
of the northern chaps. There was one more picture I regret not having taken:
Richard Craig however did stand
on a bridge armed with a camera when we were
passing through
underneath, and he's got
even more pictures!

|
That way we pulled into another station with another
couple more Pumas added. By
that time I figure we had well passed a count of twenty. We also finally added
the first two red Pumas to finally have all
six UK colours together. There was still a lot of silver ones, but all colours
had at least two representatives by now. Somehow it always feels special to meet
other green Pumas, to me.

Just look at the clouds mirrored in this
blue bonnet! Oh, and also notice how the coppers
are all set in the background to snatch speeding Pumas, but no, we weren't. One
was even making a couple passes on us on that parking lot, probably just plain
sight seeing. It's time for another
headcount shot!
|

|
On the way off M6 to Windermere order disappeared a little, mostly due to increasing
lesser traffic. Still, my
rear view mirror just wouldn't clear from Pumas!
Great sight, too!
|
|
Just before Windermere we took the last break to organize our invasion of
the place. Since that was one small parking lot we had some fun trying to
get all the Pumas triple-parked and well sorted. Look at all the people suddenly
re-discovering their
interest in Sharon's toy Puma.
Well, at around noon we began running all through
Windermere. Now, what could be expecting us at
our destination?
