Start of day 34

Excellent food and cider in The Grapes Hotel, Maentwrog last night. Since 2019 the verges had been allowed to grow too long to walk on them so I walked the mile there and back on the road, stepping into the long grass as vehicles drove by.

Retired to bed 21:00 last night so up super early at 05:30. Sun shiny brightly which compensated for the inevitably cool morning. Tent was dry on the outside, but literally dripping wet on the inside, presumably caused by my perspiration. Something my brother Martin warned me ruined his tent he had left pitched in a Greek Orchard while he went off to spend some weeks in Egypt some years ago.

Showers in the campsite were excellent for keeping clothes dry. They were so long clothes were well away from the shower head. Made a nice change from many sites were one has to carefully arrange clothes to prevent them getting wet.

Walked mile west today to The Oakeley Arms for breakfast, packed lunch and they kindly fill my flask with milk for my breakfast tomorrow when I will be wild camping.
