I did notice the RD marker, Hugo, but like yourself I didn’t know what it was for.

Yes, we did the walk last year as part of the Heritage Walks and that is how I finally recognised Menai Bridge  which you failed to award me a mark for.  ))*

 $booboo$    I'm sorry Bri but I seem to have overlooked your last answer.    Because it's the Christmas period and LFC are doing so well I'm in a happy and generous mood and have decided to upgrade the score you were originally awarded

After due consideration I have given you a very generous award of 3rd place with a score of minus half a point

Well "Menai Bridge" as the location of the marker stone was very vague and your first answer was "Old Colwyn"  which was miles away

Here's another easy one.         Where is this building?

A good guess Bri but it's not correct.    It is further south and on a main road and this is another view of the building if you were looking northwards and I bet that you have gone past it at sometime?

Spot on Bri,  well done       $good$


We have been past there so many times but only ever stopped there to use the toilet facilities, that was until yesterday when we went to see Rhaeadr Ddu which is an incredible water fall
The path starts by the corrugated village hall and goes upwards to the waterfall and we then continued upwards to the Cefn Coch gold mine and ruined buildings
Because of problems with my computer I haven't been able to down load all my photos so I can't do a report of the walk yet

Hurrah, I finally got one.  $bounce$

Yes, we regularly used the toilet facilities as well in Ganllwyd for three years when our eldest was at Aberystwyth University.

Then one day, we took a walk ourselves into the woods behind the toilet block and very much enjoyed our short journey,

Well done again Bri     $good$

Go across the road next time Bri and see the falls,  about half an hour max to go up and down.     If you think Swallow Falls are good then you should see Rhaeadr Ddu as there is no comparison in my opinion

I've had a few days away in the UK this weekend,    any ideas where this is?

Yes      ;D


But that's not the answer I'm looking for and I think that you may have seen it already?        ?{}?

At first I thought it was Warwick castle or a similar one in N. Ireland, the red brick photo didn't fool me, I could see the turret in the distance, so a bit more work, and I am sure you visited Studley Castle, I lived in Warwickshire for most of the 70's, but never visited Stapley.
