    Llandudno's great but it must be 40 years since I was last there. Or more.

    We used to go every year. Sunny days go on the beach, not sunny - go up the Orme. So you'd go up the Orme at least 5 days out of the 7

    We'd nag my dad to go on the cable car but he'd say it was too expensive and besides my mother wouldn't get on it.

    One year my younger brothers broke his balls about it so much he agreed as long as my mother would go. She agreed but she jumped back out of the car just before it set off. But we got our ride. I think that's the only time I ever went on it.

    Visited Llandudno a few years ago. You can see why it was popular in Victorian times.

    However today parking is a pain, but there are some good shops and the Great Orme remains impressive.

    North Wales is a beautiful place to visit, especially the north West and Anglesey.

    Went up the Orme a few years ago with Anita, went up in the car. Was the cafe up there owned by a famous boxer or wrestler or something? It was quite a while ago.

    I'm not saying Llandudno is a town of dodgy morals, but I once did some work at a house in Preston where the customer's mother was 'house sitting', and she spent too much time being a little over-familiar and invading my personal space.

    She ended up inviting me to visit her at her house (which was on the road up to the Orme) I didn't take her up on her offer, and managed to complete the work unmolested. I did get plenty of biscuits with my brews though, which was nice

    You got me wanting to go back now.

    I always wanted to stay in one of those hotels on the Orme overlooking the pier. We only ever stayed in a pretty grim self-catering flat.

    We travelled by coach, picked us up in Brentwood. Half board hotel stay for four nights was around £140 each.

    Hotel is about here

    That's crazy cheap including food! Not been to North Wales since the mid 90's, but agree with Barry that it's a beautiful place to visit.

    Tbh Alex it’s very ‘saga’ ish but you can do your own thing outside of mealtimes.
