@BikingViking I have contemplated conglomerates a number of times. The larger rounded stones must have been carried by a water course. The better the stone, the more powerful the flow. Then to get sediment on top, the rocks were likely submerged. Then for the conglomerates to be exposed, the water course must have carved a deeper channel or meandered.

Sinuosity is a natural phenomenon of flowing water based purely on physical principles. Once any bend occurs, slower moving water leaves deposits on the inside curve while faster moving water erodes the outer curve.
