Looks like it's been restored.  ^*^0

Can you go back and get a close-up photo Hugo?

I'll take a photo of that Zephyr when I'm next there. It was a nice looking car with a front bench seat and a floor gearbox but the twin exhausts on it were weird, never seen anything like it before.

Today Mrs Fester and I were invited by our friend Mark Jones, to take a walk to his 'hidden gem'.... Aber Falls.

I think its other name is Rheadaer falls, in Abergwyngregan.   It is so close to our doorstep, but without Mark's guidance we would have never found it.

He was kind to me (with my shattered knees) and took us along the gentle path to the falls, but then I became bold, and crossed the stream to take a look at the plungepool below the falls (pictured below)
We had a picnic below the falls, and then set off back via a route through the forest... a bit muddy in places, but beautiful and peaceful nonetheless.
A brilliant day.

Apparently, there is a great cafe in Aber, but maybe Mark is saving that up for us for next time?

Picture 1 is Mark and Mrs Fester below the falls, (not robot dancing, but trying to wave to the camera)
Picture 2 is the plungepool,
Picture 3 is a view back down the valley we walked up, and you can see the Gt Orme in the vee in the distance.

We went up there about this time last year and after your recommendation might give it another go in the next few weeks. Loads of squirrels, rabbits and birds when we went up there. Not the sort of thing I usually notice  thing but I also remember, a couple of years ago, there being a really nice chapel conversion for sale as you walked into the village .

Best time to go there is about 0830 on a spring day.  The wildlife you encounter is astonishing.

We have a few dozen in the house.  Only problem is they are all sew together in the form of a couple of stoles!    $walesflag$

That's always a great walk Fester and I'm glad that you enjoyed it . The falls you went to are called Rhaeadr Fawr and sometimes you get small trout in that pool that you photographed. To the west of the falls is a smaller waterfall called Rhaeadr Bach and another walk on the west of the valley on the higher ground brings you down steeply into the village of Aber and near the nice cafe! ( double chocolate nut cake is delicious)
If I'm not mistaken it is Puffin Island that you've captured in your photo and not the Orme judging from where the photo was taken.

It's the coastline of Anglesey itself, I think, between Llanfaes and Penmon.  :)

It's difficult to tell from the photo Dave but I think you're correct and that it's Penmon because it looks like a quarry and beach that Puffin Island doesn't have.
Puffin Island would be to the right and just out of sight.

I've never been up higher than the falls, but am told that if you keep on climbing you get to a lovely spot where there is a lake
