Is this what they mean by Welsh Tourism Tax?

The parting of the ways!
It's not looking good in that part of the Conwy valley!
A distant Common kestral and one even furher away!
Is it the sea I can hear or is it the traffic along the A55?
Atmospheric view from our lunch spot.
A painted stone in the middle of Llyn y Wrach, but did a real live one visit this lake for a drink?
The only foal that we saw on Conwy Mounttain, but I think he/she is last ryear's model,
A glimpse of an impressive estate house in the Conwy Valley.

A later than usual start as we decided to call in at Hammer and Tongs at Broughton to see if they had small washing up bowls, They did, we both, bought one, but when I got home, it was hardly any smaller than the one I already had!
The forecast for today was pretty good in that was only a 10% chance of rain. The forecast did suggest that it could be misty, but we didn’t expect it to last all day as it did over Tal-y-Fan.
Thankfully for us in the main it was pleasantly cool just about perfect for walking. Hopefully Fran’s little do just outside Caernarfon was just as good.
As is my want these days I allowed Mike to climb over Caer Seion while I took the lower North Wales Path.
Without anyone to slow him down, Mike got to the rendezvous point first!
Our lunch spot was the usual spot overlooking the Fairy Glen.
After lunch we headed past Llyn y Wrach, for once was in fact a “lake”.
The walk from here was just a gentle stroll back to Conwy, anticipating refreshing pint at the Albion in Conwy. It didn’t disappoint!
Birds seen or heard today included: Common kestrel. Mute swan, Common redshank, Mallard, Little egret, Herring gull, Red billed chough, Black billed magpie, Raven, and Meadow pipit.
Overall another enjoyable walk around Conwy Mountain.
