When you go to Lake Vyrnwy be sure you do the drive to Bala Lake over the Hirnant Pass it's an unclassified road so not suitable in winter or high speed driving but it's stunning and worth the every minute. We came back that way today as we wanted to book a night in the Lake Hotel for my birthday in April. Here are a few pics.

Paul James. Funnily enough it was supposed to be Paul John but my dad was pissed when they registered the names, and blurted it out wrong..... :lol:
Found the plate in the back of a paper. Had been looking for ages and they listed it at £145!!! Would have been rude not to!
Let me know if you ever think of selling yours - would be a cool set.... 8)

This looks fantastic, I'm glad to hear you've given the thumbs up!

I hope you had the weather, like the majority of the country today. I'm going the second week in June. I need to start planning the driving route and points to stop of so Mrs B can take some photos.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay. :thumbsup:

Well, now I have to get planning my next Wales trip thanks to you guys!

Went last year and we got perfect weather every day, although a little windy! Can imagine it being FAR more fun with no pesky roof in the way :rofl:

We had tea on the balcony at the Vyrnwy Hotel today.The Sun was shining,watching jet fighters flying low over the lake.The food and service was first class.
Well worth a visit when staying at the hotel,is the bird hide which is by the cycle hire near the far end of the dam.
The variety of different wild birds we viewed today from the hide was amazing,and it's free as is the car park. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the tip off about the bird hide maxman. I'll definitely try and check it out.

Any other recommendations whilst I am in the area?

If RAF Valley are doing some low level training it's one awesome sight, scares the crap out of you if you see them late
