Are you telling me that there are no OBs living in the whole of wales? really? well there is at least one, me! i e-mailed the relevant person (got the address out of the blue, no pun intended) asking if i could be the spokesperson for OBs in wales, and got no response (i shouldn't have expected one, this is CH we're talking about here).
so PLEASE, if there are any of you living in wales (you don't have to be welsh), please contact me so we can lobby for our own regional club.

Did my D of E Gold in Snowdonia.
One weeks acclimatisation, and four days/3 nights under canvas !
Didn't do much to improve my love of the Celts !

I'm sure we were based in a hostel in or near Llangollen. (Between Caernarvon and Snowdon?) Nearly got into trouble with local plod when the local boyyos took exception to us chatting up their 'local-talent', (if you could call them that !)
Seem to remember the high street was on a hill, and the pub, (or one of them), had sawdust all over the floor. Mind you, it was 1965 !)

Something like that.
It came backj to me this afternoon.
The village was Pen-Y-Groes. (Not sure of spelling)
Needless to say, we renamed it Pen-Y-Groes-Indecency !!
