Orchid delight
Loads of them in the grass right next to the car park of the fairly remote National Trust property of Plas yn Rhiw on the Llyn Peninsula. A lovely place visited on a lovely day, a great garden and an equally great view across Cardigan Bay. I think that this is a Heath Spotted Orchid, though it may be a Common Spotted Orchid. Better bigger!

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
