Lleyn Peninsula May 4th - 9th 2010

Afer checking out the weather forecast we decided to head west to North Wales instead of east to Robin Hoods Bay. Hopefully we will make it over there sometime soon. We set out on bank holiday monday to our first stop at Caernarfon. Got a pitch at Cwm Cadnant Valley campsite about 10 mins walk from the castle. Not a bad spot. And the sun was shining too.

We went in to the town and had a look round. Had a few drinks and some food and here we are at the Black Boy Inn with a friendly local!

Then it was on to the marina where Gordon did some sunbathing!

The next day we moved on to Morfa Nefyn on the north coast of the peninsula. We stayed at Graeanfryn Farm campsite fro 2 nights. Gordon was very pleased with himself as he had managed to make a pasty and we heated it up in the remoska oven. Very good it tasted too. Well done.

The best thing about staying at Morfa Nefyn was being close to a fantastic beach and walk to the headland. It is owned by the National Trust. And there is a watering hole there called the Ty Coch Inn. With a fab view.

Gordon eating the most expensive ham salad sandwich ever - £2.50 for a tiny roll. He was incensed!

The next day (wednesday) the weather wasn't too clever, a bit drizzly. So we jumped on the bus to Pwllhelli. Not much there but OK to have a look round for a few hours.

Then it was on to Llanbedrog near Abersoch for the last 2 nights. Great view from Bolmynydd Campsite .

From the site you could walk up the lane to the headland, up to a view point then down to the beach via the tin man sculpture. It was about an hour and a half's walk. And well worth it.

Steep steps down to the beach on the cliff side - they were knee tremblers.

The next day we went over to Abersoch, it has a fantastic beach and we did some jumper sunbathing. On the way home we hopped of the bus at The Ship Inn and had the best meal of the week.

At last. A driveway. Flossy has come home to live permanently. Yay!
