Leaving Manchester

Long day today. A few hassles picking up my hire car but eventually sorted it out. Usually I choose a pick up point in the edge of a city. Manchester Piccadilly train station is not on the edge of the city and after struggling to get the navigation to work and circling the train station a couple of times I was on track to a National Trust property. Driving in Manchester wasn’t easy. I had thought I’d be in the countryside but as I got closer it was still quite built up.
I stopped at an ASDA for a toilet stop and some lunch. I decided then to just head to Talwrn on Anglesey which is where I’m staying. That route soon got me into the countryside and I felt my stress levels drop.
It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive and very pleasant.
I’m staying on an old dairy farm in the old milking shed. They used to had 40 cows but in 2020 the milking shed and dairy were converted into two lots of accommodation.

Went into Pentreath for a pub meal. I think everyone in there had a dog under the table. No beagles though.Læs mere
