The Carneddau Ridge: Wales' great ridge walk
I've been practically living in this area for three weeks in my imagination. I've already made plans to visit North Wales soon. It's been a long time since I was on the Carneddau, but you've made me tack a walk there onto my list. Thanks for ...

Applications of the Death Penalty: Stoning
Wow! I didn't know that it wasn't originally even part of the Gospel. That makes it even less savoury as something to quote in defense of stoning.

The Carneddau Ridge: Wales' great ridge walk
