Re: Silver Studded Blue at Great Orme
Just follow the tramway from the Victoria station up the first steep section, to where you find a turning to the left along what I think is called the Happy Valley, you shaould find plenty of ssb blue there, also anywhere alongside the artificial ski slope.

Re: Silver-studded Blue query
It might be worth looking at the Great Orme colonies in North Wales as they emerge a couple of weeks earlier than normal and use B F Trefoil. I have certainly seen ss Blues there as late as mid August some years. My experience of the North Shropshire colony over almost 30 years is that, that colony ...
