I lived in Wales for a little over two weeks in both 1980 and 1981. The whitewater world championships was held on the Terwerwyn River in Bala Cynwd (sorry for my spelling) It took me two weeks to learn all the rocks in the river! I am not sure if you consider long term tourists as really <i>living</i> in Wales.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Paul Flack

Paul,<br><br>You have met the criteria by living in wales for longer than the required two weeks, however your spelling is total crap!!!<br><br>Copy and paste "River Tryweryn, Bala, Gwynedd." 10 times and your in.<br><br>Cheers, good luck with the challenge!!!<br><br>Chris,<br>Rob,<br>Ricky,<br>Rob.
