No, sorry Jack.
You did well with Hugo's last quiz though. That was a good one, had everyone guessing!

Yes! Well done.
It is the view from the roof terrace of the Hotel Palacio Ca Sa Gelesa in Palma, Mallorca.

                   Looking at the silhouette of Lliwedd in the background and the abundance of rhododendrons in the surrounding area I reckon it is Afon Glaslyn.

It's the name of the Lake that I'm after Gwynant.  You'll know it and ME should certainly know it!    $walesflag$

                       Hugo, I meant to put Llyn Dinas but when I was checking it on google it has Afon Glaslyn written right across the lake.  Sorry!

Yes, looks like Llyn Dinas, (or the mirror lake as I call it!)

Well done Gwynant, I thought that you would get it quickly and I also expected ME to get it too, after all his namesake had a fort there called Dinas Emrys.       $walesflag$ $walesflag$

Although I am aware of Morse code, (dots, dashes etc).... I'm no wiser really.

Where and on what did I see this while out walking today? It was within a 25 mile radius of Llandudno.   $walesflag$
