  • Photography At Manc

    As i have a gazillion Air Miles, my boy suggested we come up to Manc for a day to take some piccies.

    My question is, how do you get from the terminal to nice position where everyone seems to take shots from?

    Can I assume its a taxi job?

      How much to they want for the tax Lee? I looked at flying MAN-LHR on bmi miles and nearly had a heart attack when the guy told me how much the tax was. It's virtually the same price as just buying a ticket.

            Taxis are expensive that’s for sure.

            You can get a bus from MAN to the Holday Inn (ex Valley Lodge), if you are really cheeky you can jump their courtesy bus. From there you can get to the 23L threshold, a nice 10 minutes uphill walk! From there - you can get to the muddy path location for shots after noon. Then a bus back. Of course depending when you are making your trip you may get some local assistance

              Thanks Jid.

              Not sure when i am coming up yet. Problem is I have been diagnosed with Bells Plasy (Wiki it) and my left face is paralyzed. When I try to take pictures i cant shut my left eye, makes it very difficult.

                I keep both eyes open when I shoot so I would not see that as a bad thing, although having Bells Plasy is never going to be good.

                    Now that I am redundant , and that I spend most of my spare time waiting @MAN for the weather to improve, offered Shaggy some help. Have to force him to check out the culinary delights at the AVP .

                      Ouch! I thought it'd be something crazy.

                      I tried going to the US on miles recently and the tax they wanted was more than a sale fare on BA...so I saved the miles and went on BA instead.

                          It would take an even braver man to say that to his face...............
