Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[hollins]

That was a really interesting quiz question Gwynant, thanks.
I thought I started to recognize it at the traffic light stage but then you and Hugo both lost me with all the other place names and I have never seen the seat despite walking and driving over the bridge many times.
I thought I had better do some studying of the area and started to look at our pre A55 map we have on our wall.
I have tried to take a couple of photos of it which maybe of interest.

         Thanks Hollins, I had never noticed it there before either but in fairness when we were using Sea Road as a "rat-run" to get to Flintshire which was a "wet" county on a Sunday night all those years ago we probably had more pressing things on our minds! Mrs. Gwynant told me that she had heard a very sad story about it years ago but I think it was probably a piece of Abergele folklore so I won't print it. Glad to see Mr.H. had a good climbing break and the photos were amazing.

... but Gwynant, the story might be very interesting and there are luminaries on here who may be able to shed some light on its authenticity!

               Sorry Fester, my lips are sealed, (by Mrs.Gwynant!), as it might cause some pain to Abergele residents old enough to remember the story, if in fact it is true.

[Hugo]

This might be too easy, but where would you see this well used gate?             

[Hugo]

Although this is a popular path it can lead to a dead end.     

[Fester]

A cemetery then... But where?

[Hugo]

Half a point to Fester but where is this popular place?     

[Hugo]

I bet Gwynant is out today because he would have  known it.     He has probably opened that gate more often than I've had a piece of cake in his cafe.       

[Bri Roberts]

Gwynant has a cafe?  :cyclist40:

Is it in Beddgelert, Hugo?

[Nemesis]

Ahhhh ! But I won't pinch your glory Bri !!

[Bri Roberts]

Is that a clue, Nem?

[Gwynant]

                 I didn't recognise it Hugo at first but once you mentioned Caffi Gwynant it clicked! But in fairness Brian deserves the commendation for getting Beddgelert. I've just spotted it on Google Streetview at the end of Stryd Smith before the footbridge at the start of the path to Gelert's grave. Thinking back I actually posted a question last year about the confluence of the Afon Glaslyn and the Afon Colwyn on this thread at this very spot!

[Hugo]

Congratulations, you are all winners.  We were in Beddgelert yesterday  and the gate is by the confluence of the two rivers.  I couldn't post any more photos as it would be too obvious and in the background of one of the photos I think Gwynant posted a quiz question about the circle of Daffodils in the field.

After the walk we stopped at Caffi Gwynant and had a coffee and cake, nice cafe and nice cake too!

[Nemesis]

Is that a clue, Nem?

No Bri. I had sussed the answer from what you had posted, but thought it not right to pinch it !!!
