I know where you mean, thanks. Never knew that pond was there.

There's a good circular walk from Conwy up the Conwy mountain side, cutting across through Oakwood Park grounds, then round and down along the country lanes into the Gyffin valley and back into town.

Aah I might just do that one tomorrow.  I fancy going up to the old church. (Llangelynin) it's one of my favourite places.

Thanks Fester, Dave very cleverly changed the subject, with some outstanding moderating, but now you've unearthed it again.  :-[

Today Socs, my lad and I went right the way along the beacons.  Its a nightmare trying to walk in the sand as it just sinks beneath your feet.
There were a number of stranded Jellyfish strewn all over the shore, some quite large.  Did you know: Jellyfishes have no brain, heart, blood, and no nervous system they can sense food and danger but its a mystery how they process this information with no brain?
We also came across a huge float kinda thing, made from polystyrene and covered in fibre glass (I thought it was rock) not a clue what it was for.  I'll page the Oracle.........Dave do you know what it is?  

Tomorrow I'm going to go up to the roman fort on the mountain behind Conwy, got basic directions.  I want to go over towards Llanfair to see the old world war 2 plane crash site. As I remember the fusilage was still there I remember my Dad taking us all up there when we were kids. You watch I'll get there and find nothing but bits of metal, things always seem more interesting when your young.

Also bumped into Oscar, he's a very tall man. _))* I included a photo at the bottom  :D (sorry Oscar could't resist mate) Funny he looks "camp as a row of tents" with his hand on his hip.

Angie, you're OSCAR!!!!!!!!!  ;D

That floaty thing is....a floaty thing. They use them in harbours and suchlike to make things like pontoons float. Maybe not the greatest explanation in the world.  :(

Angie, you might not be Oscar.... but you are the funniest and most interesting contributor to this Forum,  (in my humble opinion)

Love reading your posts...

Went on a pleasant walk around Penmaenmawr this afternoon. The sunshine came out halfway round. Went along the main road, past the Red Gables Hotel (ok, my main reason for going was to see this), then down past the old Grand Hotel site through the tunnel onto the beach, then back up Paradise Road (laughs) for a coffee at the Big Rock Cafe on the main road (which is highly recommended, by the way).
