Those 2 guys were a...

    Another season; another backlog, this shiftwork sure makes you a bit slower!  I visited this site back at the end of March with Mookster and a non forum member.

    Octel Bromine Works, Anglesey, January 2017

    This is a spectacular location for sure, surrounded by wonderful dramatic coastline. If you've got time I'd recommend bringing a packed lunch!! You could be watching the waves crash against the rugged cliffs, maybe if you're lucky you might spot a seal or a puffin passing by. Here in 1951...
