Weekend pt1

Saturday evening we had a meal with Adrian and Cathy and a couple of their friends. A particularly good evening. Gazpacho and Fish Stew, can't go wrong.

The Welsh Highland Railway (a steam narrow gauge line from Port Madoc to Caernarvon) ran right through our cabin site. We did not manage to go on it, but it was good to see.

I walked up Moel Hebog, a mountain right behind our cabin. Views all around to Snowdon, Cardigan Bay and more. A great day too. Danielle and Layla went a walk in the forest, and came to meet me as I made my way home.

I had not been to the Anglesey coast for over 60 years. It is where we had family holidays at Rhosneigr when I was very young, I still have some memories though. We walked first on the beautiful dunes and forest at Newborough then went on to Rhosneigr, which was pretty much how I had kept it visualised in my mind.

Lucky to have a bright light on this field of autumn grass with the fir trees behind. It was a wet day but in between the showers we got a few walks in.

Day 2 we explored the forest on its many tracks and paths. Here Danielle and the dog are walking towards the light.

This is our third year of staying a week in a Forest Holidays cabin. North York Moors, Strathyre in the Highlands, and now Beddgelert in Snowdonia. A new area for me, the location is fantastic, with beautiful rivers, mountains and forests. 

Day one, we walked into the village of Beddgelert on a great path. This shot is of the church yard in the village.
