It looks like a walk I've been on a few times before  Trearddur Bay to Rhoscolyn but your photo does more justice to the lovely colour there

You're spot on Hugo, it is Porth Saint between Rhoscolyn and Ravenspoint in Tre-arddur Bay and is near the Black and White Arches and the gravestone of "Tyger"(see pics), the dog that helped rescue the crew of a wrecked sailing ship many years ago. Well done (once again!)

Well done Jack, you have now answered the two very easy parts of the question, how about the last, and most important?   ££$

It's Blofeld's Lair which is supposedly in a hollowed out volcano.

I doubt anyone will get it so will give it to you.

You may notice in the top of the picture there is the unmistakeable jib of a Tower Crane.  I worked in the business and our yard and offices were nearby at West Drayton.  The Tower Crane was installed just to lift the "Rocket" in and out of the volcano - a pretty expensive exercise!  I and a few others had a grand tour of the set and were able to watch a few "takes".   All very interesting.

Thanks SDQ for your input.  $walesflag$

Not really SDQ.  I think there are plenty on here staying in posh hotels, visiting posh places, who talk about themselves time and time again, eating lavish food in posh restaurants, playing in their posh gardens and other such matters.   I thought my question would be quite intersting.  If you did find it so then just don't read my posts.   You sound just like Oscar.

Have a look at  few of Hollins' questions, re Dubai and her World tours! 

I suppose I could have put another picture of a church!   $walesflag$

Wow! Looks like I really hit a nerve there!
I must apologise.

Sorry Hollins. For what it's worth I really enjoy reading about your travels & the many pics you post. Apart from the Man Utd ones of course!  :twoface:

Apology accepted in the spirit in which it was given.

I also apologise to Hollins as it was wrong of me too single her out.  I too enjoy her traveller's tales, even though a little envious of going to some of the exotic locations.
