Beachcombing in Wales

The hot and hilly drive down to Abersoch was not particularly kind to “Andy the Landy” with the steep hills and very narrow “B” roads from Betws-y-coed but it was definitely worth it and after letting the clutch cool down overnight, Andy seems to be back to normal! Well as normal as it gets with a Landrover…

Our site was voted the Best in Wales in 2010 and it is easy to see why especially with the stunning views down to the beach… They even provide TV hook-up so we can catch up on the SOAPS!

It would appear that there are rather a lot of beaches to explore around Absersoch and whilst the sun has been shining for the last three days, we have made the most of the conditions and visited as many as possible on foot, by car and even on the bicycles.

 
The cycle ride was a bit of a challenge as we found some very big hills and as John’s bike has no brakes, watching him come down the hills was very funny. We climbed down the cliff with the bikes and then cycled the two miles across Hell’s Mouth beach.

The weather has turned now though and gale force winds and rain are forecast for the next few days, so it gives us time to catch up on reading and our washing before we move on to Aberystwyth on Tuesday.
