Day 58 Ty'n Cornell hostel to Rhandirmwyn Camping

Thursday: Up 07:30 away 12:00

It rained all night and was still running in the morning so I was glad I had upgraded from camping to a dormitory. Warden Malcolm was quite happy for me and the other 2 guests, Claire and Katie, to stay until the rain stopped. This it did just before noon. Then I finally got underway.

After the high ferns and Towy Bridge Inn I have mentioned in the other footprints there was a little more road. Then a stile on the left, that I initially walked passed, which took me down a steep path to the river. The riverside path took me all the way to the Rhandirmwyn Camping and Caravanning Club Site. Friendy Hannah took my camping fee (£9.62 - my cheapest this year) and sold me a washing machine token (£4.50) & a tumble dryer token (£2.50). After setting laundry going, pitching and furnishing tent I then made pasta. Then I collected my laundry from the tumble dryer before making my way up the hill to get to the local pub (The Royal Oak Inn) for ciders.
