That's it!
That's it! Sorry Dad, I take it all back. It all comes flooding back now, that must have been why we called the Llanberis Pass the Kyber Pass. Or it might have been because it was the way into a shithole, I can't be sure.
Dad also told us that the mountains were just like China, and again he was correct - when he was a kid they filmed "Inn of the Sixth Happiness" round there.

I think they used Wales for China
in the Tomb Raider sequel too, when they were riding the motorbikes.

The mountain pass scenes
were filmed on the Watkin path, near Nantgwynant.

I used to live there, and know a lot of the older locals that were extras

Yup,
I used to drive my rickety old camper van up there regularly and told the kids it was indeed the Khyber Pass. I bet they still think it's called that even now.
