Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Cambrian]

Location is Blaenau Ffestiniog, although the loco may not have actually worked in the quarries there as it went to the Trevor Granite quarry in 1941but left there for private ownership in 1965 and eventually ended up as an exhibit at Gloddfa Ganol.

Spot on Cambrian. well done   

It's in the car park in the centre of the town

[Gwynant]

               I thought it was the engine in the new Station Square in Blaenau Hugo, but when I went to check it on Google maps it showed it on a raised stone plinth and a different colour. This leads me to one of two conclusions, a) since the Google camera was there they have redesigned the square and station area and repainted the loco  (which I know to be a fact as I've been it there since and one of the new slate pillars is visible in one of the pics), or b) I have an older version of Google Maps which needs updating!

[DaveR]

Station Square was refurbished a year or so back. 

[Bri Roberts]

You need to get out more often, Gwynant. 

[Gwynant]

              Thanks for that Bri, I'm generally out and about more than most but it's obviously not enough! Perhaps when the weather finally improves..........

[Bri Roberts]

I know that, Gwynant.

I was only joking. 

[Gwynant]

             So was I Bri! Sorry I didn't reply earlier I had to go out.........

[Hugo]

Another place in N Wales where I think Gwynant has been, but where is it?       

[Hugo]

You may have passed the Chapel on your way up to this peak.     Does the peak seem familiar?       

[Gwynant]

                 There's not many peaks in North Wales with that shape Hugo, instantly recognisable even in those conditions as Cnicht  (The Welsh Matterhorn), and I think the Chapel is at the start of the ascent in Croesor. I haven't been up that route for many years, but I have been up to the head of of Cwm Croesor from Cwmorthyn on the other side of the Moelwyns recently. (That was when I used to get out more Bri.  WWW )     

[Hugo]

You're too good Gwynant.  I was trying to catch you out as it looks like Tryfan.        A nice walk on a good day but a bit hazardous on a wet and windy one so we didn't stay at the summit too long on that day.

I'm going to have to get out a bit more if I want to find a question to beat you.   

Well done         
 

[Hugo]

If you saw these little figure where would you be walking?     

[Hugo]

The two are facing each other.

[hollins]

Is it in Dolwen?
