camping trip

---

The weather looked good and Alex had the weekend off, so we set off for Tywyn with the tents. Lovely day on Friday but the wind became very rough overnight and we felt as if we were on the high seas. It all calmed down again and the tents stood up to it. We walked a fair way in two days, it was lovely though involved a lot of uphill. Luckily I had an extra day as I didn't have to go to work today! I did a beach walk then sat and read a book in the sunshine, and once the tent was packed up I had a leisurely drive home, admiring some spectacular bluebell woods and collecting one last cache on the way. My face feels red from the wind and the sun, which was wonderful.

the old railway plunged down here
onto an inclined plane, taking slate into the valley. This was another quarry!
