With a name like that, it's got to be in Wales  gif

was organising some photos on the puter & found these that I'd forgotten about  gif

unfortunately it was a grey day & the waterfall was less spectacular than usual because it hadn't rained much for a few weeks
hope you like them anyway


The first sight of the falls


Getting closer


I took this standing on a rock in the river - normally I'd have been ankle-deep in water!


The bottom part of the falls


The pool at the bottom of the falls


One of my "artistic" shots - I quite like it!


Pystyll Rheadr is one of the "Seven Wonders of Wales" - only 6 more to go  gif

I think I have a childhood memory of visiting this place when we were kids. (If it it is pronounced Pistol Rider)
My brother would only have been little - probably no more than 2 (I recall mum having a back carrier for him)

We all legged it down the very steep hill.
My poor dad had to push us all back up and carry all the stuff.

It's here
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=315000&y=325000&z=5&sv=315000,325000&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&ax=306585&ay=329897
but the last few miles are on really narrow twisty roads
(proper Wales!!)



If anyone cares, more details here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northeast/sites/seven_wonders/pages/pistyll_rhaeadr.shtml

More about the 7 Wonders here

I've just realised I've got pics of 3 & 6, but they'll need scanning coz they're years old.
Back soon!

Forgot to say  - "Pistol Rider" is a pretty good attempt at pronouncing the name  gif
Accurate pronunciation requires a double-jointed tongue & flexible teeth!  gif

Try & go soon after there's been plenty of rain - it's WAY more impressive when there's loads of water coming down
