The pair of us have abandoned Bigland Towers for a few days and decamped to Wales for a break. We’re staying on the Llŷn peninsula, the bit of Wales that sticks out of the top, West of the Isle of Anglesey. It’s gorgeous, but I have to admit I’ve not spent much time around here for very many years. The last time I was in this neck of the woods of back in 2016. Dawn doesn’t know it at all, so this was chance to put that right.

The journey over from West Yorkshire took just over three hours by road, although we added to that by stopping off at Abergele for a break and the chance for me to get a picture or two as today’s weather has been superb. Sadly, the forecast suggests it’s all downhill from here – so we made the most of it.

See what I mean about the weather? One of Transport for Wales new CAF built class 197s passes Abergele and Pensarn with a service from Manchester.

We’re staying in an AirBnB in the middle of nowhere where you really wouldn’t try walking to the nearest pub (it’s *only* a 30 minute walk, down narrow single-track roads with no street-lighting). Not that it’s problem as that’s not why we’re here. We’re here to explore the coasts and byways and enjoy the great outdoors. Here’s a few pictures from today’s explorations.

Don’t tell George Monbiot but we’ve stoked up the wood burner and settled in for a cosy night at our new home.

Our hosts greeted us with this very thoughtful welcome pack.

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
