Welsh Wales

Been travelling again..... snippets of it.

Betws-y-coed; nothing happens here. The good cafe closed years ago.

Blaenau Ffestiniog; among the most rancid shitehole's I've ever seen - how those slag heaps hundreds of feet above the town are legal, I'll never know. Interesting to visit if you're ever curious to see what a mining colony on Mars might look like. Pretty houses. But that's pretty much all that's to recommend the place unless you like your life surreal.

Rhyl; that bloke threw an egg at Prescott here. And Dirty Sanchez superglued Pritchard's todger to a road sign here. That's about it. Oh, and the sign's been removed which tells the trained mind a thing or two - or the local students have nicked it, which is far more appropriate. Another of TWM's holiday destinations which allegedly used to be great, and which has died a total death. The seaside town that they forgot to close down. Come armageddon, come.

Rhosneigr, Anglesey; suitable holiday destination for the propellorhead in the family due to the proximity to Valley airfield. Actually a very nice beach in a surfer sort of way. Could waste some time there. Note to self; pack waders next time for accessing the photography spots without a twenty minute diversion; or a backpack to safely transport the camera through the salt water of the dune streams.

Llandudno; actually breaks the mould, it's a lovely place. They seem to have caught on to the fact that the family holiday doesn't actually need to be plastic and noisy, it's got a bit more class. I'd go back.

Here endeth the snippets. If you want more, I'll take paid commissions to go back and sit at the end of Valley runway for a week ;o)
