Exploring the Great Orme

Exploring can mean using a variety of means of getting to and about an area and this was a place I often visit that missed the early stages of this blog but does tie in with it totally which is going up the Great Orme, Llandudno, North Wales which I did using the steam hauled railway.

That's the Summit complex with tea rooms, gift shop, exhibits and conveniences next to a radio installation on the left with the train making it's way down in view.

You can spot the heather growing near the areas fenced off that goats chew the grass  on.

There is a road network and here's a sign showing the way to St Tudno's church which is a good hike to get to having done it and lived!

Them goats can be observed most of the summer months up here looking out to the coast.

An interesting view showing an area I walked all the way to the shoreline with the drystone wall visable on the far right.

There's a tradition of people leaving their names spelt in stone on the Great Orme

Some indication of just how high and step this area is can be seen in this picture that may not present much of a challenge to the Welsh Mountain Goats but do to my wobbly feet and wonky co-ordination

These pictures were originated on film and carefully restored to digital correcting a few exposure challenges in the original negatives
