In your last picture, at the top of the pass between Dollgellu and Dinas, there's a info notice telling you about the 'Brigands' that used to be executed on that spot for nicking stuff on the old Drovers road. They were mainly the local Griffiths familly and it turns out that my mother was related to them - her maiden name is Griffiths. They had to move inland to evade the authorities (and execution) and eventually settled in the Oswestry area
The Griffiths tribe still have an annual reunion in the Brigands Inn, never been to one though
On a similar note, don't go ragging it down the Pass towards Dinas. Da Babylon very often have a sneaky camera van on the long sweeping bend at the bottom
UKBEG's Resident bandito then?
Interesting stuff Adam will stop for a read next time
Bwlch yr Oerddrws translates as the pass with a cold door.
It can be bloody cold there as well,a popular place for the planes spotters too park.
Yes i know about the scammer van in the lay by only too well
Got done a year back doing 69 mph,well it wasn't actually there it was half a mile further twds Dinas on that long stretch,no other car on the road, he got me as i came round the corner,the twat was at the end of the straight and by the time i had focused on him it was too late.
