Gower

We went for brekkie at the Beefeater over the road then on to our first stop in Maesteg near Bridport to visit Gary’s nan’s house that she was born/grew up in - a lovely, scenic, hilly village which has a little history still plus a lot of new houses too.
We found the house with ease and took a few snaps. The house is on the market so we could nose around virtually inside too. Only £125,000! We had a quick wander around the back alley up to the cemetery at the end of the road then round and back to the van. Gary sent the photos to his mum then we were on our way again meandering towards and through Swansea to the Gower National Park.

We pulled up next to the Mumbles first as it lashed it down stopping for a coffee then made a plan to drive onwards to Rhossili and the Worm’s Head causeway, a headland that is only accessible during low tide. As we hiked down to the coastline the sun came out and it was beautiful for a few hours. There were friendly, shire horses grazing along the grassy hills at the top. We scurried down the path then rocks heading out towards the islet on the other side which seemed to be getting no where nearer. We ambled about over the rocks for a while then headed towards what I thought were seals (large rocks) then circled back and climbed back up heading back to the van. Very enjoyable indeed.

We pre booked a campsite for the night so headed on to there. A bit more west near the coastline in Llansaint. We were hoping to get a takeaway tonight but nothing in the area and the local pub wasn’t serving food so we had a pit stop at a local Co Op for dinner supplies. Always good to eat at the van anyway. Pitched up at a nice spot in the grass at the campsite, v quiet. Can see the sea from our pitch. Lovely sunny evening until the storm hit! It bucketed it down all night. Heavy rain/hail but we were tucked up and cosy.

Hopefully, dolphin/seal spotting today on a boat trip. Hope it’s not too choppy!Читать далее
