Hi Paul, there is a Pennants group (or society) based in Holywell. You will be able to get their contact details from the office at Greenfield Abbey/Farm. The little shop at the Abbey sells copies of Pennant's Tours - leaflets showing Pennants walks around the area. Regards, Barbara, Melbourne, Australia. Did you all see the Commonwealth Games Ceremony last night? I was there with my brood cheering on the Welsh & Aussie teams - it was an amazing atmosphere; incredible experience to be a part of!

Thanks very much for the info - I will certainly look into this further to see if they can assist me. Unfortunately didn't see the Commonwealth Games - Not much coverage here in the states - I bet it must have been fantastic to see though.
