Who, or what, is the statue you are sitting by?

Did you know that during the COVID lockdown, the wild goats who normally live on the Great Orme, came down and wandered around the streets of Llandudno!

Hmm, I think we will have to visit Llandudno this summer, looks good. Years since we last visited, and I can't remember much about it. I do remember us driving up the Great Orme and there was some kind of cafe/restaurant at the top, associated with a famous boxer or wrestler iirc.

This time I might get the tram though, if only to see that rare species in its natural setting: a train driver driving a train :) Maybe ASLEF doesn't apply to trams.

Yes, had a sausage roll and coffee in the cafe at the top, there’s a bar named after the boxer Randolph Turpin but it was closed.

Nice views but it was f**king cold.

Ah - should have looked at your post more carefully.

Lots of fun geocaches on Great Orme too

Excuse my ignorance - what's a 'geocache'?

Basically Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting activity that uses GPS-enabled devices. In geocaching, participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the "geocache," (usually a container or marker) at that location.
