Great write up Flash:clap I used to go to BedGelert every year with school and stay at the youth Hostel by the lake at Llyn Gwnant down the road. Thats where all teh Gelert outdoor gear comes from originally, now China.

How the hell does this bit of Castle not fall over.... i had to look twice.

Great shots again.

"The truth is that this story was made up by local traders some time ago in an attempt to lure Snowdon's visitors to their village. It appears the place name actually refers to Gelert, a sixth century saint from the area. This legend was well known by the time George Borrow visited Beddgelert in 1854 as part of the journey through the country the results of which he published in 1862 in his book tilted 'Wild Wales'.":p

Nice pictures flash, it was good to meet both you and your wife too.

Apparently, the king was so overcome by guilt that he buried the dog in the prettiest spot in his kingdom.

If you've been there you will see what they mean. Think I've got something in my eye. :tears
