Wales 2013

MAY
On May 10th
 we set off for Conwy at 0930 arriving at the site at 12.20, we stayed at a small site,Penrhiw Uchaf, on a farm, the pitches were in a valley by a small stream, it was very damp and quite cold. We set up then tried to ring Gill & Colin who were going to pick us up, we found that there was not a signal so drove off site to try and get one higher up, we ended up nearly at their house so decided to go there, as we turned into their estate the water container fell down and hit me in the face, we had forgotten that we had pitched up and put it on the shelf! bit of a shock and a fat lip. We found their house, a beautiful bungalow over looking the estuary, had a cup of tea and arranged for them to pick us up later. We went for a drive with them to Rhos on Sea where we walked along the promenade and then stopped for a drink in a cafe, gave Crackers a bit of a run on the beach. Back to theirs for a lovely meal and chatty evening before they took us back to the van.

May 11th
Gill & Colin picked us up and we went to Lllandudno, Rich and I walked round town and along the pier while Gill was with her daughter then we met up later and had a meal in Wetherspoons. It had been cold and very windy.

May 12th
We packed up and met Gill & Colin at a pub for a meal before heading for home arriving at 3.40pm. A nice weekend except for the weather and good to catch up with Gill & Colin again.

JUNE
On June 20th
 we set off for Llanwenog arriving at 3.30, we had great difficulty in finding the entrance to the site and Rich had to do a hairy turn in the narrow lane but we made it, we appeared to be camped in a large, sloping meadow, though the piches were hardstanding and level there were beautiful views.

June 21st
We met Caron, Nathan and Sam for lunch at a nice pub then went back to the van.

June 22nd
Set off for home arriving at 2.10. A very quiet weekend, nice to catch up with Caron, weather not too good though, chilly and damp.
