And we're off!! 🇮🇪
August 1, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We're heading to Ireland, via South Wales so that we can meet with Owain, Elin and Elliott.

So far the weather is dry, but we do have yellow warnings for storms today, so🤞🏼it's not too bad. We're going to wild camp somewhere tonight (maybe in Porthcawl) and then head to Fishguard in the morning for our ferry across to Rosslare.

Excited (but also a little tired 😴) 🤣Read more

The trip was loooong. As usual the M25 was a nightmare and it took us 30 mins to leave the M25 and enter South Mimms services!!

A couple of stops and we eventually got to Porthcawl 😁

Travel to Fishguard and a spot of lunch!
August 2, 2024 in Wales ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We chilled a bit this morning and the little people had some breakfast, before setting off for Fishguard to catch the ferry.

We were nice and early so we pulled into a viewpoint and had some lunch and a little play on the beach before heading to check in.Read more

Entering Ireland!

The boat journey was nowhere near as bad as I thought. We had lounge access so it went fairly quickly... But true to Ireland's reputation, the weather is less amenable! 🌧️☔🤣

Finding somewhere to stay!
August 2, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
So we had the contact details of a site we were considering, but when we called they were full. So we turned to our trustee search for sites app to try and find an alternative.

We found a spot on the coast, that looked promising and lined up some paid sites near it in case there wasn't any space.

We were lucky! So lucky!!

It was quiet when we got here so we were able to pick our place so we weren't too 'wonky' 🤣

By 10pm it was full of campers, so it made getting there early really worth it 😁 well that and the play on the gorgeous beach! 😍Read more
