I'm afraid not. ME was closest when he guessed it as being near(ish) Ruthin.

Well done, H!

I had the 'Fishermans Breakfast'.  It was ok, 6/10. The cafe was staffed by a team of mainly disinterested young girls. Great view from the balcony outside though.

Whilst on the subject of water, here is an easy one.  Where is this?

[Gwynant]

                          Is it the exit point on Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), where the flow of the River Dee can be controlled to suit the water sports such as kayaking, white water rafting that take place further downstream?

[Yorkie]

I have it as part of the National White Water Centre so your full detail would appear to be totally correct.   

[Hugo]

Yorkie,
I thought the centre was near Frongoch and that the water supply comes from the River Treweryn

Well in that case, Gwynant is wrong.  Anyone else want to have a go now we all know the answer?     

My ignorance at knowing which lake fed it.  However, it flows from West to East so it can't be Lake Tegid.   Messed that one up, right proper!   

[Gwynant]

            My answer was solely based on zooming in on the exit of the River Dee at the bridge where the B4391 crosses the eastern end of Llyn Tegid, where you can discern some concrete buttresses and trees etc. on Google similar to those in the photo, and not on any local knowledge! But the River Dee flows in a  south-west to north-east direction from Bala down to Chester. Yorkie, you must know where you took the photo!

Ah!  But there lies the rub, as Shakespeare would say!   It was not I that clicked the shutter, although the information I had, plus my own limited knowledge, confirmed it as connected to the National Wild Water Centre.

From my own visits to the centre itself I am aware of the direction of flow.

I will now go and stand in the corner for one hour as recompense to all.

I believe Old Conwy Cucumberman over on Thoughts of Oscar also said that.
