Onto Porth Lago

Tuesday 13th April 2021

Day 2 of freedom from lockdown and after a very peaceful night at Porthdinllaen the sun was shining from daybreak which was very welcome. 

Coming away to Wales is always a lottery with the weather but it looks like I got lucky. 

The temperature dropped quickly after dark but it was warm and cozy in Ed.

I shared the carpark for the night with a couple in a small campervan.

They sat outside with a firepit for warmth until at least 1100. Rather them than me, they must be pretty hardy, I can't see the firepit giving that much warmth.

After a morning doggie walk we set off for Porth Lago which is about 25 minutes down the coast. I've not been here before and it took a bit of finding, but boy is it worth it.

The approach is through a farmyard with it's usual cow pat and chicken obsticle hazards, but once through it opens up onto a fantastic camping field overlooking the small sandy bay. 

It's a very beautiful setting and very safe too with golden sands stretching out into the sea with a very gentle slope and crystal clear waters looking inviting.

A paddle in the gentle surf though felt like an "ice bucket challenge"

Later we walked along the coastal path to drink in some more of the beautiful scenery made all the better by the Spring sunshine.

This time last year, in the first lockdown we were of course enjoying a heatwave. It's a bit cooler this year but still quite warm if you are able to stay in the sun.

This evening was spent just enjoying the peace and tranquility.

If the weather stays settled tomorrow, I may get the kayak out and go for a paddle along the coast, the water looks very inviting.

Butter wouldn't melt would it ?

Don't you believe it, shortly after this Louis found a freshly silage sprayed field to have a full body roll in !

Little bu**er had to have good wash afterwards
