Cambrian,  it was you that actually identified the !river" but that was about 6 years ago.       :o

I stand corrected Cambrian, it was 2012 when you posted the name of the "river"            ?{}?

This is a view of the bridge as you're looking south, it's near a main road although you may not be able to see it as you're driving past

Yes!  The site has much growth since 2012 and my memory is so much older!  I think it's the Ffynnon Mair which is a tributary of the Afon Wydden and flows from the well at Cae Rhos.  The bridge originally accommodated one of the drives to Gloddaeth Hall.

Well done Cambrian you're spot on          $good$

It must be 60 years since I last crossed over that bridge and the stream has silted up a lot since.    It's the Afon Gwydden that flows through Ffynnon Mair and goes under the road by the cottage Glan Yr Afon in Llanrhos.

I was there yesterday looking for a route that Jack did some time ago and thought that I'd have a look at the bridge.    I did see a blue coloured pipe in the field but no idea what it was for,, it just seemed odd being there

This discreetly placed memorial plaque caught my eye today.
But where was I ?
(Just noticed that the image needs rotating)

It would be in the Three Towns area but it looks like a bench but can't be sure as Fester has cleverly cropped the photo.      I'm guessing that it's somewhere on the Great Orme but have no idea exactly where at the moment

Hi guys.
I actually didn’t crop the photo, and yes it IS a bench.
One I’ve sat on many times, and never noticed the cleverly concealed plaque.
It’s not near any other bench,  very much on its own.

A very wild guess then Fester.     Is it set back in a small clearing on the right of the path from Haulfre to the bottom of Llwynonn Road?

I take it that it's on the Great Orme?        There is one at the top of the zig zags but that already has a plaque on it so I don't think that it's that one

Is it on the side of the path going past the ski slope to the Great Orme?
