7 miles of virtually deserted bliss anyway, and all kind of puts things into perspective, especially when I stood in the mouth of the dams breach from all those decades ago, trying to imagine the ferocity of it all.

'Lain would have luvved this.


Sounds good to me growls, deserted places always appeals for a spot of contemplation. smile


Indeedeedodo 'Lain.

I've got a pack of 30 laminated walk descriptions/direction cards (fit in yer pocket) that I got for a fiver off the AA, and the 11 I've done so far have been very isolated generally speaking. No crowds of sheeples which is just how I like it.

Done most of the reasonably local ones now. Angelsey and the llyn penisular with surrounding area now beckon. laugh

Oh,yes i went on hols on the peninsula,it is gorgeous there, I presume you have been before? whistling sands is great, and i think it was abbersoc or abberdaren one of them anyway,(spelling ?)that had the church on the beach, if I'm right and if you go there check out the head stones in the church yard they are from 1500's i think, let me know when you go or when you get back, I'm very jealous now! The iron man on the top of the hill was the bay we had the caravan in, LLanbedrog! Nefyn was good too, my memory fails me but all of those bays you can drive to in a day and they are all really nice. and they are usually empty. smile

Done very little exploring in that neck of the woods tbh. Barmouth and Black Rock Sands are about the closest I've frequented over the years.

Bloody housing estate IIRC? eek

Shouldn't have been left so derelict for all these decades. Absolute travesty how it was left to de-grade like that. eek

Never actually visited the festival. Did you?

Dunno why, but I was getting Crosby mixed up with Garston for some absolutely inexplicable reason. crazy blush
Possibly with you metioning about walking along the prom is what threw me, hence me rabbiting on about the owld Garden Festival site. whistle

I've been on Crosby beach. Are the iron men still planted on it? Bloody great they are/were. grin

I was born in Crosby...apparently, so i was told like.

I did visit yes,it was really nice but as you say it was a shame to neglect it, i believe its going to be a mixture of new housing but also leisure activities IE gardens, but haven't read much about it lately.

The iron men are still on the beach, we had a little visit last year. Very earie to see, very beautiful concept , my sort of thing, talking about beauty have you visited the dream in st helen's? you really must go if you haven't,its such a gorgeous thing but spoilt because no one really gets to see it so its wasted,i wish they had put it on Liverpool waterfront,you will have to google it Growls.
