We'd come to this location after popping into Bodnant Garden to see the wonderful Laburnum arch in its full June glory. We've often missed the flowering season before on trips to our sadly defunct caravan at Plas Coch on Anglesey. However this time we weren't disappointed and so I've included some pictures here.
After w'ed had our fill at Bodnant, we set off for Anglesey - ah the wonders of being in the National Trust.
Sarah and I found this cache on a short trip to Anglesey for our Wedding Anniversary. This is a cache that we'd been meaning to do for a long time, but had not round to it. We'd been to see the Lions here before and so we knew roughly where GZ was, or so we thought. We spent a long time in the area near to one of the lions before realising that new coordinates had been posted in the logs. After broadening the search, Sarah came up with the goods, which were quite some way from what I expected.
We first saw a pair of the Lions on the opposite side of the Menai Straits (there are four of them) and always thought it was such a shame that they were no longer in view. On this side of the Menai we came across the other pair on a quest to find the last remaining peice of the original Stephenson Britannia Bridge which was burnt down in the 70's. It took us a long time to locate this remnant after first seeing it in one of the 'Coast' programmes on TV. Few local people seemed to know where it was or how to get there when we asked.
Anyway, this is a great place to visit if you've not been before as you get to see the Menai and Britannia Bridge from a different viewpoint.
