Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

Spot on Gwynant.   
It's at the start of the walk up to Moel Famau from the forest car park.  It wasn't there the last time I walked up to the top so it must have been placed there faily recently.

[Jack]

Are they trying to encourage Black Grouse back to that area Hugo?

[snowcap]

looking at the grass around the base it looks to have been there some time, and the bare patch at the side looks like the children have been jumpping off and on to it

[Gwynant]

            Thanks Hugo but I feel I must own up to phoning my walking companion to check the location of the grouse carving, but I knew we had passed it recently in that area as I had pointed out in an earlier reply tonight.
             A fairly easy one this, where would you find this (very!) coastal property.

[Yorkie]

Treaddur Bay?   My usual wild guess.

[Gwynant]

                  Unlucky Yorkie, but for a wild guess you are not too far away!

[Hugo]

I've walked past it when I walked around the Anglesey coast and think that it is in Red Wharf Bay.

[Hugo]

Are they trying to encourage Black Grouse back to that area Hugo?

Yes that's why you get those unusual markings in the heather.The Grouse feed on the young shoots of the heather but need areas of older woody heather for nesting and shelter.  You must have a walk in that area Jack as I'm sure that you would like it.

[Fester]

Is that property not in Bull Bay, Anglesey?

[Gwynant]

          Hugo and Fester you are on the right island (nearly!) but not in the correct location. Yorkie has had the closest guess so far. Apologies for the delay in replying.

[Yorkie]

Caergybi ?   Holyhead.

[Gwynant]

                 Very close Yorkie, but exactly where on Holy Island? Hugo, as you have walked the Coastal Path, you are right , you must have passed this spot!

[Merddin Emrys]

Is it a small bay near Anglesey Aluminium?

[Gwynant]

   
             Well done  M.E, that's close enough for me! It is actually the old bathing house for the Penrhos Estate, and has now been converted to a private dwelling. The view shown below from the point at Gorsedd-y-Penrhyn at the seaward end of Beddmanarch Bay on the Penrhos Reserve looking towards Caergybi shows it in a more recognisable location. If you go on to Google Maps and get Anglesey Aluminium on screen, look for the liitle bay at approx. 2 o'clock from the plant and zoom in you will see it very clearly. It's a beautiful spot for a house but not much fun in a North-easterly gale!

[Merddin Emrys]

Google maps is how I found it!
