Great pictures Ian, I have been in South Wales, always wanted to visit North Wales but never made it. Apart from the rain, looks like a place I would enjoy.

You did really well Ian and captured the moods and beauty of North Wales really well.
Some very fine shots here in spite of the rain.
At least you have some idea what we're up against now lol.

Ian, there is a very old English saying.
"If you dont like rain, dont go to wales".
Actually. I like rain very much. Wish I was there.
