OContinuing frantic packing of stuff for escape to big mountains. Have now managed to get my bags packed.
14:18 at Chorley Railway Station. Ticket office closed for staff changeover. You'd think they could organise shift to match up. The ticket machine on platform worked OK. It's the first time I've used it.
15:44 now at Manchester Airport Terminal 1. Waiting at Etihad check in which opens 16:15.
17:30 have got through security OK but had to have my bag emptied & searched. Was told off for having camera in my bag as it is classed as electronic & same as laptop etc. It should have been in a separate tray.
While waiting at Manchester Airport listening to Radio 4 on headphones on small portable radio. FM reception good, DAB reception rubbish. Good news is Mick Fleetwood just been and said Fleetwood Mac on tour next year including the wonderful Christine McVie after 17 years away.
