Here I am, now speaking under my real nickname!
First of all thanks to Sian for letting me have your flat and for your big hospitality!!!
Second, thanks for all your comments to this thread - I did not know I was such a prominent member of this group as I did not make too many contributions...
Third, Jon, I think it will take me at least two more weeks till I get near Llandudno, but I will get in touch when I get nearer.
Fourth, Bronwen, sorry about me thinking you might be male - I am not too familiar with foreign first names, so I just guessed - and obviously I guessed wrong. And it is no longer possible for me to follow each thread as there are so many threads each day. So I might just have missed the one where you told the Mudcat you are female.
And what a female - 6 feet 1 is quite tall for a lady!
I am thinking about going from Chester to Birmingham via Welshpool, so you might get a call from me.

By now I did some 620+ kilometers (about 380+ miles), and I enjoyed most of it - very nice people, beautiful scenery, great castles, and beer that's better than Guinness: Felinfoel Dark Dragon
So much for now, my small change is running out and so is my online time.
Back soon,
MudGuard
