Sorry for the interruption in my summer roadtrip write up. I’ve been busy launching another website at work and celebrating a certain young man’s 9th birthday (more on that soon…) After our flying visit to the Normandy coast, we began … Continue reading
After last year’s successful European camping roadtrip, I found myself to agreeing to another camping adventure this summer. And unlike last year, where we spent part of our trip either staying with friends or in an Airbnb, I somehow suggested … Continue reading
You’ve made it to the final post of our Welsh adventure! During our week in North Wales, we squeezed in one final walk before heading South. On our final full day, the weather was terrible across Snowdonia and Anglesey, but … Continue reading
We couldn’t visit Snowdonia without attempting to climb to the summit of Snowdon – the highest point in England and Wales. We packed a picnic and waterproofs and set off early for Llanberis. We parked the car there and squeezed … Continue reading
