    wow lovely photo's @Colin123 HORSE SHOE PASS brings such good memory's back for me. When the lads were young we always camped at Shell Island, my husband used to love driving this way ( think he liked to scare us ha ha ) We always parked at one of the lay byes at the bottom, we would have a drink and bite to eat, then he used to watch the traffic so he could have a good amount of road to put his foot down to reach the first part of the top ha ha.
    Good memories x

    Thanks for sharing the pictures @Colin123 they are very pretty.

    Do you edit them or are they as taken? I am guessing a bit of editing but whatever way, very talented.

    @SueHeath

    I agree with @Libby_Scope thanks for sharing. I was just thinking on the pic where you can see the bit of road that there probably are some great driving roads there.

    What you mention sounds just like what I do, watching till the traffic has gone away then go for it lol.

    I do edit them with Lightroom and was quiet as it was taking May 2021 last year and we were slowly coming out of the Pandemic. I went on a weeks break in Wales as it was awful as you know having to staying in being vulnerable...my ex wife (friend now) came with me to look after me as my daughters work in care homes , hardly seen them as they were not allowed to visit. After we returned I struggled and still do to get out like I used to.

    Visited the Llangollen area for the first time last year. Horseshoe Pass and the hills above Llangollen were stunning.

    I know Harlech Castle tried to charge me ...I walk with a crutch and mentioned I am disabled ...didn't have to pay....
    Disabled people should be given when applying for Blue badge a card small enough for your wallet/purse to show we have disabilities or when given PIP...I'd say Blue badge....
