We were way more prepared this morning than the last time we moved campsites, having packed up most of our shit the previous night like ultra efficient packing machines. It wasn't pissing rain either which helped massively with the whole not killing each other thing. Once we were packed we had a little stroll around [...]
It was, like, 9.30am when we did a dodgy looking slow drive past Caffle Brewery. We pulled over and shuffled up to the wall, peering over it, looking for signs of life in the large, stone house which looked like it could have been a school at one point. We were wondering if we should [...]
Whilst we were sat in The Old Mill yesterday chucking a Waen Beer each down our necks we called up Celtic Quest Coasteering and booked ourselves in for a couple of hours frolicking in waves because we weren't piss wet through and cold enough already. As it turned out though the weather wasn't that bad [...]
I rank taking a tent down in the rain as one of the most miserable things you can do that don't involve running out of tea. I woke up a few times in the night and heard the rain belting down on the tent which meant my brain demanded I had to lie awake for [...]
On account of our unparalleled skills for getting lost even with a satnav we left the campsite stupidly early to get to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns to take advantage of their 20% discount offer if you went on a tour before 10am. "Llechwedd" contains three consecutive sounds across two syllables that make a non-Welsh speaker [...]
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and yes, I copied and pasted the shit out of that bad boy! And no, I still have no fucking idea how to say it. It doesn't help that Welsh letters are pronounced differently to English letters. I'm trying to pick up a bit of Welsh while we're here, I've started to recognise a [...]
It was a bloody lovely day when we woke up and the Met Office assured us it would remain so until around 3ish when it would cloud over and possibly rain. "Fuck it! " we thought, "Let's wear shorts!" Yeah. Do not, under any circumstances, believe the weather forecast in Wales. It is compiled by [...]
It is very important to consume appropriate quantities of bacon when getting up at god awful hours because everyone knows that bacon contains all the nutrients necessary to stop your body clock from going into shock upon the discovery that there are, in fact, two 4 o' clocks in a day. We wanted the early [...]
