Jesus drove a Landrover? Who knew?
He would certainly have converted more heathens if he drove something faster!!

That took a while for me to work out what you were on about lol

Nice pictures. We were in North Wales last week for a break. Climbed Snowdon but couldn’t quite get to the summit due to snow! Then climbed another mountain called Cadair Idris and felt a bit sunburned! Also did this Zip World Velocity - The Fastest Zip Line in the World | Zip Worl

Wow that looks awesome, Sarah would be up for something like that. I don't thinkIi would have the guts to go on it. Was it good? i bet that felt fast, 125mph? with nothing around you, in the wind, cheeks must start flapping at that speed.

North wales last week did you enjoy it? Been told we miss 1 dam so look like we are going back and for the forest walk alone reservoir

 

[AmericanThunder]

North wales last week did you enjoy it?

Yes, but it’s one of those places that having now done it there is no drive to go back to.
Unlike our summer location down in Sidmouth that we return to regularly. Why? Who knows? Just drawn there whereas Wales was ok, been there and that’s enough.

Found this, certainly not the fastest, but seems to go on for ages.

Thanks dan for uploading them,

you cant really feel the forse the water has unless you are near it the video's give you some idea,
you think these 4 Dams were build many many years ago doing well, in winter parts of it freeze and great picture slot coming i think? depends if the roads are clear or not???

 

[an88fiero]

Wow lovely. I love water falls . When I was learning how to take pictures with my proper camera when I first got it - it was great to get a moving shot of water. I’ll try and find one I did
