Hope you remembered the sunblock - where exactly in North Wales was it Batty? - the mountains seem familiar.

Called Nefyn.

Nefyn for miles around?

Much like Royston Vasey - but with a pub on the beach that more than makes up for the town.

I thought so - on the north coast of the peninsular (my aunt lived on the south coast at Abersoch). The mountains looked two of the three Rivals or Yr Eifl, and I think I might be correct.

We used to go to my Gran's house in Llanbedrogg every summer. In Lostock we lived across the street from Bernard Whitaker who owned the department store in Deansgate (his son David may still do for all I know). They went to Nefyn (I think they spelled it nevin back then) every summer. The Lleyn Penisular was a beautiful part of the world back then - hope it still is.

Gorgeous.

Been there a few times now, just for a night or two - very calming.

On a clear day I can recommend climbing Garn Fadryn - spectacular (if windy) view from the top of the water on three sides (Abersoch, Hell's Mouth, and Nefyn) and beyond the sea, the mountains of mid wales.

Because the inside looks like the pub the visit in the Mighty Boosh?

By the look of the website I wouldn't be too far off how much in the past they are!

I doubt it... it is pronounced "nevin" - because a single "f" in welsh is pronounced like a "v" (unless it is at the end of the word in which case it is often dropped.) "ff" is pronounced like the english "f".

I meant I think the English spelled it that way on their maps etc. See for example the picture Bay at Nevin at http://americanart.si.edu/1001/2002/08/080302.html or the National gazeteer of Wlaes which gives both http://homepage.ntlworld.com/geogdata/ngw/n.htm

Oh - right.. there are English and Welsh names for most (all?) welsh towns... [Swansea/Abertawe]. When you said "they" - I assumed you meant "the welsh" - "them" - "the others" etc..!! I married into "them"...
