The Adventure Week was mainly based around Dinas station, with two trains running which crossed at Dinas, and most up trains waiting for 40 minutes there to allow passengers to enjoy the attractions laid on - Tombo the clown, a children's fairground, Cadwaladers' mobile ice cream shop, the miniature railway, the footplate rides on Stanhope, the waiting room turned into a tea room & gift shop and the goods shed housing the 10 minute film show and other stalls including the WHR(P). All the photos on this page were taken at Dinas. and are copyright of FR Co..

Linda is seen here on the low loader at 13:37 on Friday 30th May approaching the roundabout at Inigo Jones slate works. As she had been in steam only an hour earlier, the top of her chimney was capped and lagged to prevent air passing over the chimney drawing more cold air through the firebox and tubes, which would cause thermal stresses. Later in the afternoon she was safely back on FR metals.
