Wales August 2016

Wales August 2016

Sat 20th

This was our first trip in the new caravan.
We set of at 11.30 and arrived at the Brynarian site in Llanon at 2.15. Thhere was nobody around and no reception. We phoned a number on a board and were told to pitch where we liked. We had just got the awning up when it started to rain. It rained quite heavily all night and as we were under trees and it was very windy the noise kept us awake quite a bit.

Sun 21st

We went to Caron's where we met her new chap who seems very nice and easy to get on with. We went for a meal at Cwmann Tavern which was very nice, had an enjoyable time.
We sat in the van the rest of the day listening to the wind and rain, another disturbed night.

Mon 22nd

Still wet but not quite such heavy rain. W went to see a gold mine at Pumpsaint which was very interesting, quite a scramble to get to it and back out of it through Roman workings.
In the afternoon we watch telly and the sun came out about 4pm.

Tue 23rd

A glorious, sunny day. We went to Newquay which was very busy. We walked along the harbour and saw dolphins out in the bay, watched all the children playing in the sea and on the beach for a while then got fish and chips. We walked to the coastal path and climbed up for quite a way before giving up as it was so hot. Back to the car and then back to van where we took the awning down, still sunny and warm.

Wed 24th

Up and away, home by midday.

Quite a strange site with no wardens about, basic facilities. Our first trip in the caravan so a bit strange and surprisingly different to the motor-home.

Mileage 91 each way
Site fees £60
