Trip report: A week in Wales
Just realised my Virgin account where I put my photos is running out of space - ha - they are clearly too busy concentrating on zooming off to space rather than providing me with hosting space :). So ...
Forum Discussion
Many thanks for the comments guys.
Dome: Thanks, glad you like the pictures, and thanks for checking them for me to confirm if the links to my new hosting provider were working.
MacHof: Shipping a camper over may be a bit of a chore, but renting a class B or C in Europe is worth considering.
Cewillis: Actually Cal, my previous report of Scotland did include another outhouse interior photo, though that was more of a proper bathroom complex, where as this was definitely just an outhouse. You can often tell the Roman roads from the maps, simply because as invaders they had no concerns about driving long straight roads through people's land heading for distant locations, where-as existing roads tended to (and still do) skirt around people's fields and went from one village to another.
bka0721: Hi Bryan, yes, we love the camper - we now get withdrawal symptoms if we don't go camping in it for a few weeks.
Silversand: Glad you liked the views. These photos are a lot better than the poor quality ones I emailed you from my blackberry. K2 - don't go giving Sally any ideas!
bighatnohorse: That beach would have been a lovely spot to spend more time, although in truth I don't really have the patience for sitting on beaches.
dadwolf2: The distances were pretty small - The first evening's travel (to the place with the outhouses) was only 121 miles. From there to our campground on Anglesey was about the same. From there to our 3rd campground was only around 70 miles, and from there to our 4th campground about 155 miles and from there to home another 100 miles. We are lucky that we can get to such different scenery such a short distance from home.
Jefe4x4: Yes the weather was wonderful - lovely clear air. Sorry you two are suffering from the forest fires.
Loulou57: I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos as a reminder of the old country. We don't have a website, but if you go to the trip reports sticky thread and search for sabconsulting you'll find more of our trip reports, especially if you scroll down to the section covering Europe.
Bigfoot85: And there were some lovely spots to enjoy tea - in fact sally always carries a thermos flask of tea in her backpack.
Dakonthemountain: Glad you enjoyed it - yes, it is lovely countryside.
Joerg68: Yes, it was sad. I didn't know he had come from a funeral until it was too late - i.e. when he got out of the car and I saw his black tie, but by then I was standing there waiting to pay for the camping. Not ideal timing.
Saltydog5435S-Tex: No problem. It was worth the work on the trip reports sticky because we have accumulated so many great trip reports in the truck camper section it was important to re-sort them to ensure they were easily accessible.
DJ: Yes, of course, your name gives away your ancestry - I guess many in the US wouldn't recognise it, but both first and last names are very typically Welsh.
RobertRyan: I'm not sure the Welsh would really appreciate being called "English people" :) You probably meant "British people".
Scottiemom: Glad you enjoyed the report.
GoinThisWay: Thanks.
