... and they pretty much kicked him off, the jobsworth facist women-haters. We were quite depressed with ourselves considering we then had to pay out another £76 to get down to London, but I guess if this is the worst of our travel cock-ups for a seventh moneht world trip I guess we should 'quit the *****in....'

... across the bridge into Anglesea - we stopped by the village with the longest name in the world - see photo - and even got our passports stamped at the shop there!

Then down into Holyhead where we said goodbye to Mike and the silver bullet - now if you are ever planning a trip to Wales, the one person you MUST meet is Mike Davies - look up Dragon Tours and he will give you the best tour of your life - the man is just an encylopdia of knowledge!

Off to Ireland tomorrow!

... tradidionally given by the man to his lady friend as a sign of love and devotion.

Tonight we're staying in Bala - a lakeside town, known for it's watersports and prehistoric fish that inhabit the lake! Dinner was at a pub (for something new!) and we enjoyed Steak and Brains stout pies - Brains is a beer brewed in Cardiff that Josh is enjoying - he is also getting into the Magners and Bulmers ciders!

We spent a good 20 minutes at the summit. It was busy - shouldn't these people be at work on a Friday?! (I know, I should too...) FYI, there is excellent mobile ...

Today we went to Snowdonia Park in the mountains and it was lovely. Everything is green here and lots of rocky terrain. There are many mountain climbers and walkers in Scotland and Wales. Everyone is friendly and is interested in our trip. From there we made a bee line for Llangollen Canal where we just made it for a 12:15 excursion along the canal in a 72 foot canal boot. The trip was lovely ...

We left our wonderful friends Margaret and Barry Austin and our grand room at the Midland Hotel this morning. Hard to leave a top floor room with floor to ceiling windows for the entire wall that looked out on the Morecombe Bay! I am adding photo's of the hotel and view.

Brilliant time was had by all, probably the best retirement I have been on (obviously sponsored by Carlsburg)

Congratulations Andy.

Well done to those that completed this mountain for the first time - Scafell next!
