How many times, if like me, you've visited a web site to look for walks, only to find that you have to pay for them

So good news, I've found a great one, which is also free.

I've used two walks to date, and the supplied info was spot-on, excellent.

Adrian

I like these a lot

I have always had to clone people out of my shots of the bridge in Beddgelert
There weren't that many people around, possibly visiting there on a Monday helped

Indeed Simon, a very nice place. And a bonus on the day, the sun came out

Thanks all.

Some images from a rare day in June, when the sun actually shone
A nice walk from Beddgelert to Llyn Dinas.

All with the K5 & Sigma 18-50.

Adrian, That translates to "Most people will do best to turn the world demand" Now I am confused

Help Howard
Cliff, Google has got this way way wrong
In a nutshell what I'm saying is "the more that turn up, the better it will be".

Funnily enough, Welsh is my first language with 42 years experience, but I ended-up gaining 2 CSE's in Welsh, and 2 O Levels in English

Cheers

Hi Cliff,

As Adrian says Google has got it wrong. "Byd" in this case does not translate to "world" it means "will be". The literal translation should be "More the merrier".

Welsh is my first language, with slightly more experience than Adrian, but when I went to school they didn't teach us welsh.

I assume Adrian that from your PU name you're about 7 ft tall!!!

Cheers,

Howard

[/quote]Howard, the more the merrier, indeed

About 7" tall... more in the region of 5"4, if that.. now why aren't coat sleeves too long, but trouser legs seem to go for ever

Cheers
Adrian

Hi Keith,

Denbigh is not far from me, I'm near Bala Gwynedd, maybe you, Stu and me could meet up somwhere sometime.
Hello and welcome Keith.
I'm feeling quite lonely down here in the Lleyn Peninsula

I'm over that way sometime in September (Aberdaron) if that helps
Probably passing mine on the way then, I live in Trefor, roughly half way between Caernarfon and Pwllheli.

Thanks for the info redbusa99.
From what I've read the older Phenom's perform better than the newer Bulldozers.

Don't know if this is mere coincidence, but the computer now no longer reads/detects any media in the DVD writer. Again according to the device manager, the drive is working fine..

I had this problem with a K7. Cleaned for free by APM Camera Repairs, Old Eldon Square, Newcastle on Tyne. Have had good reports of this firm from others too.
I can vouch for this firm. My K10 was showing lots of dust on the censor which the dust removal system couldn't shift so I took it to APM at Old Eldon Square. When I went back an hour later it was done for a tenner. I paid up happily as I didn't want to mess about inside the camera myself.

Unfortunately they couldn't remove the dust on my K5, which is not a criticism by any means.

The K5 is my 3rd Pentax DSLR, and all have 'suffered' this fate.
Foolishsly I followed the advice on the other forum, and tried to brush the dust off the screen with a painter's type brush. The result - the focusing screen resembled the floor of a barber's shop

I managed to remove the screen and blow the offending particles off, however as I didn't have a specialist tool to hold the screen, I ended up scratching and badly marking it.

I've since replaced the screen with a new one, but there is still some dust visible through the viewfinder (which the blower won't remove).

They are not distracting, and I just live with them now.
As earlier said, if they aren't distracting leave well alone, as I can testify what can happen when things go pear shaped.

Regards
Adrian
