Right, the decent thing to do would be to give some feedback - ta to all for inputs.
All went well, save for biblical rain when we were on the way up which ruined views through Snowdonia - we stayed at Llandudno for the first night, so weather was perhaps a warning from 'im upstairs. I quite like faded glory Victorian resorts so I enjoyed it. Had a tidy dinner at the Albert - seems quite appropriate to mention that here - and a few pints of Celtica which went down very nicely indeed.
On Anglesey, South Stack lovely, but with mates and their baby so didn't go to lighthouse - they had an RSPB 'event' on with loads of spotters' scopes giving really good view of the birds. Trearddur Bay has a superb beach but we hardly saw it, spent most of a very enjoyable night sat on a jetty by a remote boathouse drinking beer with mates and enjoying the view.
Portmerion is weird but wonderful, had a night in Harlech where we had an excellent Caribbean meal, went on the Porthmadog - Blaenau Ffestiniog railway and had a look round Caernarfon (Caernarffon?) where we had a few very decent beers in the Black Boy pub. Stopped at Centre for Alternative Energy, which was interesting of sorts, the displays of MSc coursework were pretty damn impressive in places.
All in all, very good, and a nice change to our usual Brecon/Pembrokeshire Wales trips.
