Cynwyd Youth Hostel
The Youth Hostel in Cynwyd was a converted watermill. It was very old and very damp and I stayed there one wet weekend in April 1967 with my girlfriend Angela Chapuis as we were heading towards Snowdon. I had a top bunk and banged my head on the low roof beams! What a wet weekend! The memory lingers as the following day we moved on from Cynwyd and stayed at Llanberis before our attempt on Snowdon. The weather was so bad that the mountain rescue teams were out forcing everybody back from the mountain so here I am forty years later and I STILL haven't been up Snowdon! Cynwyd was pleasant and our North Wales adventure is still a happy memory. ...read more here

Cyril Evans
Does anyone remember my father Cyril Evans, and his family. I think he left the village around the 1940s at the age of 14???

Sandra Phillips
Whatever happened to my first real girlfriend (dare I say first love) Sandra Phillips from Glyndud? Sandy, I hope you are happy, healthy and that the world has treated you well.
