Day 4


Day 4 Cefn Maelan Caravan Park, Dolgellau.

Great nights sleep. Not a peep from mum till 8.00 this morning when Her faint cries of Help Help alerted us to the fact that she still hasn`t quite mastered the toilet door.

Finished the last of the bread with just a little bacon to help it along.

Now the clouds have lifted and the sun is starting to break through we can really appreciate the amazing views from this site. Across the valley to Cadair Idris is truly spectacular. There will be photos as soon as we find a pigeon strong enough to carry them to the border.

We decide on a day out in Barmouth. Well I do.

On the way a quick stop at the GeorgeIII in Penmaenmawr for a couple of photos then over the old wooden toll bridge and on to Barmouth, scene of many many holidays from a very young age right up till my early 20`s.

It hasn`t changed a bit.  Mum remembered a lot of it, so on the way back we took a slight detour up the mountain and past the converted chapel where we used to stay. Probably one of the steepest and narrowest roads in the world but well worth it. The chapel stirred a few memories too....photos to follow.

Tea tonight was some absolutely amazing local lamb fillet with roast veg and new potatoes. Just thought I would mention that.

  1. The chapel brings back many good memories for me too - it was the best place to go for a holiday as a 8 (?) year old - ferns, woods, places to explore - it was neat. Glad you took your Mum there.

  2. Cant wait to see the pics. Was great to read about mum's visit to see Peter too. Tell mum the willow trees and the ash are now pollarded. There's a whole new world at the bottom of my garden!
