Cheers, Anne! It was a little laborious walk uphill to reach the viewpoint, with the temperature at around 28C, but a lot of entertainment once atop. They had a re-enactment of "Lord of the Rings", so it gave me a chance to finally meet Gandalf the Grey.

Thanks, Dale! Beautiful is an understatement for most of the North Wales countryside. It is like being in a different country altogether.
