The warm sunshine continues, and as Alex had a rare day off, we decided to go top the seaside. There were a couple of caches that had been on the list for a while, one of which needed to be looked for at low tide as its in the middle of the estuary! We had a lovely walk, over the bridge to Barmouth for lunch, then we jumped on a little ferry boat to get across the river, and headed back to the car. A round walk of about 7 miles I should think. The dog has taken to her bed already!
