I go up there 4-5 times in the year Tony and as Aircooled says as long as you don't go up round Conwy and the main roads then you just don't see them.
There are some stunning roads and places to visit. And the dutch pancake house is a place to behold mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cake eating.gif[/img]

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
