Hmmmm. You'll have to provide better qualifying criteria for such effusiveness, _pH_
'Stunningly beautiful' is fine, but it would be more plausible if you could rank your sentiments alongside similar uplifting feelings you might experience in other, comparable parts of the UK and Europe such as Scotland, Northumbria, The Costa Brava and Merseyside.
Yeah we did. The place we stayed was fantastic, middle of nowhere. Went up Foel Eryr in a really REALLY strong wind (I actually got blown over when I tried to sit down on the top of the cairn), then onto Fishguard for the afternoon. Had a day in St Davids (stopped off at Newgale on the way) with a picnic on the beach at Whitesands. Had a look at Haverdfordwest castle on the way back (nothing that special tbf) and Llys y Fran reservoir. Then went to the National Botanic Gardens and Mumbles on the way home. Great weekend

It's tradition, is it not, to initially try out your new Welsh phrases at chucking out time in Merthyr? I wonder if Teuchter could be persuaded?

I think you should edit the words in your original post to 'mildy stirring'.
The thread should also be renamed 'Passable photos of Cymru Wales'

Ah, you guys, with your clever tricks, impish humour and internationally significant coastal landscapes.

What a gorgeous place.

That's a bloody amazing route. If ever I'm headed Midlandswards, I always try to go that way, even though it means I have to go near Merthyr.

He clearly did it to wind everyone up so he's got what he deserved. I guess the word "stunning" doesn't apply to much of the UK's countryside as it simply lacks the drama and scale that's out there in the rest of the world - but no need to ruin anyone's thread over it really. Pictures are really nice anyway!
I lived in North Wales for getting on for three years but I didn't take many landscape photos.
I want to say though that whenever I drove from from home, Tyn Lon on the Llyn Peninsular to anywhere in the midlands or south of England, my heart soared as I drove through Snowdonia. Stunning doesn't come close

I think we also need to have some kind of parameters for the "stunning" metric, too. Are we talking the mild stunning a small halibut might experience through being flicked at the bouncy cheek of a small child, or the stunning of, say, an average sized cat when hit with a cartoon frying pan by a small and yet unfeasibly powerful mouse?

I fear we may only learn the truth once Teuchter has conducted his experiments in the field. Brace yourselves, Wales/Cymru subforum; no good is going to come of this

It feels a little as if there is an attempt to shift the focus away from the earlier, embarrassingly deluded "world class" claims and onto the interpretation of the word "stunning" instead.
What qualifies as "stunning" depends on the observer, really, but what qualifies as "world class" does not.
As you were.

Your investigations will, without doubt, meet with considerable interest in the parts you choose to inspect closely enough to satisfy your suspicions.

There are five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Wales. There are five designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Wales. There is no shortage of photographers, artists, travel writers etc all describing parts of the Welsh landscape as being stunningly attractive and the country being one of the most beautiful in Europe.
So I don't think it much matters what you think about the place - most people can just use their eyes and make up their own minds - and if you don't find the place to your tastes, then jog on.

Exactly. Hardly any. When you look at the map, Wales is perhaps the second most devoid-of-outstanding-beauty part after the English Midlands. When you're not even doing as well as England (yes, England!), I'd suggest it's time to quietly drop the "World Class" claims.

Like I said, it really doesn't matter what you think given you're desperately trying to get a reaction, so please go and do your tedious trolling elsewhere.

Let me put it another way so hopefully it will sink in.
Stop your fucking tedious and disruptive trolling or I will ban you from the Wales forum under the forum rules:
(1) "Don't act like a dick and we'll all get along fine" and
(2) Trolling.
