Thanks-- we often stop there to walk the dog if we have been to Rhyl, to Wilkinsons or Matalan.
Isn't there a big spider somewhere there too?

           Well done Bri. $good$ We took a bus to Caernarfon, and followed the Lon Las Cycle Track from the Victoria Dock to Y Felinheli, which follows the old British Rail track for about 4.5 miles and is almost completely flat (except for the final descent into Y Felinheli) where we had a swift pint in The "Garddfon" right on the Straits before getting the bus home. Couldn't help noticing on the walk that the old Ferodo factory is in a terrible state now and almost derelict (as we have seen in Dave R's recent photoshoots)

That sounds an interesting walk Gwynant.  Where is the entrance to Lon Las cycle track?  Is it past the block of flats at the eastern end of the dock?

                Yes, you are in the right area, Llechwedd. If you keep walking East after the flats you will come to the start of the path in the public car park which is just below Morrisons Supermarket. It runs along the old B.R. track past Ferodo, fork 2nd left at the roundabout which leads onto the Y Felinheli bypass and then downhill past "Crossings Cottage" down to the waterfront past the boatyards in Y Felinheli, where there is an excellent pub called Y Garddfon, which serves coffee as well as beer/bar meals. It is approx.4.5 miles long and takes just over an hour or so.
        It is much quieter than the Lon Eifion path which starts just past the Welsh Highland Railway station at the other end of Caernarfon and runs in a westerly direction for 12.5 miles up to Bryncir. This one is great on a bike as it has a very slight uphill gradient most of the way (not too steep as it used to be a railway track too) on the outward leg but very relaxing on the return leg!

These are two very old Ficus Trees but do you know where in Europe they are?
