• Cwmcarn camp in the morning

    September 19, 2017 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Tuesday: My new Terra Nova Wild Country Zephyros 1 tent, Marmot Trestles Elite 30F sleeping bag, Therm-a-rest NeoAir inflatable sleeping mat and ExpedAir UL M pillow all worked splendidly overnight. I was dry, warm and comfortable and had an excellent night's sleep. Woke to a sunny morning.

    Cwmcarn has smart modern visitor centre with restaurant serving full breakfast choices. Campsite has plesant warm toilet block with coded lock access. It includes kitchen with sinks, fridge, 2 ring hob, microwave, 2 washing machines, ironing board and iron. Pitches are half grass half gravel. The gravel is an all weather surface which does not get muddy so is suitable for pitching on when wet. I found it hard to drive in pegs but Mandy in visitor Centre assured me they will go in if driven hard enough.
