Baloo Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi folks, I am off to North Wales for a few Days. Going to be at Peckforton Castle for the Weekend then Rhyl for Mon, tues, Wed Thurs. Might try to find another place to stay for next Weekend, not sure yet. Would be great to get together with anyone if you are available, I know it is short notice. PM me and I should be able to pick it up on my phone. Bit of a long shot but would be nice to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Would love to meet up with you, but, alas, we are on the wrong side of the pond. You are headed for one of our favorite areas. We have had some wonderful times in North Wales. Ruthin and Betws-y-coed are a couple of our favorites as well as Conway and Caernarfon. You will only be 16 miles from the "Falcon" pub in Chester where you can get a pint of Samuel Smith's Museum Ale. Oh, you might want to visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Might go to that place. Or even up Snowdon. Only if the railway is working though. Just for the moment spending a couple of nights in Peckforton castle. Yes a real castle. 71 steps up to our bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Said "Hi" to a few of thse places for you Jim, sadly no flying thoug, didt measure the wind but it must have ben between 25 and 50 mph all the time I was near the beach. Dont mind flying in high winds, do have a problem with being Sand Blasted all the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 We were staying with friends in Chester and took a day trip to , I think, Holyhead. They took us to a hotel for lunch, located on a hill overlooking the Irish Sea.. The wind was blowing as you described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
