For those averse to YouTube embeds, here's my vertical video edit. The YouTube version is widescreen, unedited (unsegmented), and features both the up and down portions.
A palate cleanser between courses of Pony Express dust. I drove Ty-Gwyn Road up the Great Orme at Llandudno, Conwy, North Wales. This is a 2x hyperlapse, there and back again.

After braving the winds atop the Great Orme, we continued our journey along Marine Drive. When we reached The Rest and Be Thankful, we decided it was the perfect spot to pause for a warm drink. Stepping out of the car was an adventure in itself, with the wind still howling around us. Thankfully, the coffee was steaming hot, and the cake proved to be a delicious reward.
The Great Orme for today's #StandingStoneSunday - this is Hwylfa’r Ceirw ('High Road of the Deer'), a double stone row of mostly small stones, leading downhill from a square enclosure. Double rows are a rarity in Wales, much more commonly found on Dartmoor.
The Orme is a headland of predominantly limestone, and has some great prehistoric monuments, including the wonderful mines.
