After a short week in Eryri (Snowdonia) getting re-acquainted with some old haunts, we decided to drop in on Betwys-y-Coed. Although we've lived in southern Germany for 30+ years, my wife and I studied in mid-Wales, and a visit was long overdue. We were in the middle of an unusual dry spell, and so the water levels in the River Llugwy were relatively low.
