Round about Dolgellau in Wales; there's gold in the hills and rivers
round there, but seldom enough to be worth anyone's while; the Roman
Empire got the best of it a couple of thousand years ago.

A word or two of caution, though. Firstly, the area you're in is Wales,
NOT England, and the locals are a little bit touchy about that sort of
thing. Secondly, DO NOT make any jokes about sheep, especially not in
any pubs there. Finally, if the weather forecast says rain, especially
thunderstorms, make sure you have an escape route up a hill away from a
river, and never camp near rivers; they rise and flood devilishly fast
in that area with little warning.

One other thing: The place names aren't English; the pronunciation is
different. Try "Dolgelly" for the above placename, and don't visit
Pwllheli or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.
