We’ve been waiting to go on a short holiday for ages, but the weather hasn’t allowed for successive non-rainy days this summer, but we finally saw our opportunity this week. Strong winds and sunshine and showers. Perfect going away weather. We headed for Snowdonia first thing this morning with no real plan as to where to go. We decided to go to Porthmadog and find out in the tourist information what there was on offer and then decide our travel itinerary from there. Porthmadog itself wasn’t that much to write home about and I remember now why we drove through it without stopping last time. We did have a nice picnic by the marina though.

Next stop was Criccieth and the castle. Nice little village too. Since we were on the Llyn peninsula we decided to head along it (bypassing Phwelli completely) and on to Abersoch for a snooze on the beach and a walk. We ended the night in Aberdaron at the end of the peninsula in a lovely campsite right on the edge of the headland, with a sheer drop to the beach just outside the van.
