Don't believe a word of it Rhino. Everyone was very restrained with the drinks. Friday night because they knew what awaited next day, and Saturday night we were all too knackered ;D

In fact it was rather intellectual at times. Not often a word like pandiculation gets dropped into a conversation over breakfast ;D

That's my new word of the day then. I'll slip it into conversation at the next opportunity. Quite useful for tired walkers I imagine.

Mel  -  Can I ask you where the village is in your photos and is that Snowdon you photographed?
Sorry, don't know the area............

Yes, it's snowdon and the village is Capel Curig. It's hardly qualifies as a village. Although it's a great place to start a walk from. I know the area very well.
