Wales in the rain :(

 Thursday 13rh May 2021

Well after a fine and mostly dry day yesterday it began raining overnight and hasn't stopped since.

I decided to head in the planned direction of New Quay in the hope that some fine weather would find us, but of course all we saw was more rain. 

The forecast doesn't offer much hope either, so after lunch in New Quay, we headed north to one of my favourite parkup's at Fairbourne on the Mawddach Estuary, overlooking Barmouth across the river.

There's lots to do here if the weather is fine, there is a cycle trail up the estuary to Dolgellau, or a ferry boat goes across the river to the seaside town of Barmouth. 

The beach is also great with mostly soft sand and a few stoney sections.

I've been here many times before, last time was a glorious weekend last Summer when I was able to get the kayak out and go for a paddle up the estuary. What a difference in today.

Tomorrow we'll head home and put Pembrokeshire off until the weather decides to play nicely.

Disappointing but there'll be plenty more opportunities I'm sure.
