Walks in North Wales / Re: Unthinking Tourists

North Wales beach with notoriously soft sand snares VW driven though lifeboat gates
Cars are not permitted on the beach because of the likelihood they will become stranded in its soft sand

A different beach but the same old story.    “Can’t educate stupid,” said one local. Another added: “It’s such a shame common sense isn’t very common anymore.”

Well done Hammy, you're sot on it is Gower Road
:
Part of the road is prone to flooding and sadly an elderly man was drowned there in January while walking his dog.      Gower Bridge is a lovely footbridge and I wonder how much it would cost to build now   

Gower's Bridge (the footbridge in Llanrwst) was built in 1947 by the Caernarvonshire County Council for a cost of approximately £1,500, replacing an earlier structure and serving as a footpath over the River Conwy, linking Llanrwst to Trefriw.

Earlier this year we had Sunday dinner at the Hayloft in Bodnant and we think that the chef must have been Michelin trained.      That's the only explanation for the meat tasting like an old rubber tyre.       It was awful !
