So day 2. We made it to our campsite, again somewhere in nowhere, the road up to it was long, narrow and gravelly. James decided that the Fazer and he had enough and he headed off to the B&B to check in.
Alex decided the Triumph Could make it and shortly arrived at our site a few minutes later to see where Sam and I would be tonight.
Again a sheep fest!
These sheep were loud! BAAAHHHING all over the place. and decided to try and take over camp bike 2 lol.
We possed for the obligatory selfie,
After a while, Alex headed off while we set up camp and settled in. Later that night Sam and I headed into town and we met the guys and walked into town to get some food. We settled on Indian, and on the way came across this window.
Later that night we tried to find the campsite and settled into sleep.
Day 3.
Was a washout. Looked like it would be ok, the morning was nice, some cloud mixed with blue skies, but this soon changed. It RAINED! and it RAINED!
We headed up the mountains towards Snowdonia. Stopping to look at Portmeirion but decided that is was too wet, and we didn’t want to pay £11 for the privilege as well. So we headed to the Hostel where the two guys where staying.
At this point, Sam and I decided we would get a room there too, as the weather was awful. Alas, they were fully booked for 2 school trips 🙁 so we had to find camp.
We rode around for over an hr. trying to find a signal so we could do some research. We found some good places, however, no one was there and no one answered the phones, The pub was too expensive, and the B&B was full. So alas we had to camp.
We found an amazing place, however, the weather was not kind, and my tent leaked so bad I ended up sleeping in a puddle.
But we spent most of the evening at the Hostel where they had a dry room to stick all our gear to drip out.
Despite the weather, the view at camp was great.
The evening was nice, the rain held off for an hour and we went for a walk in the valley and up the lower Snowdon hills.
Afterward, Sam & I headed home for the night!
Day 4 started off wet! real wet. I packed up my sodden self and decided the tent was dead, and I was going to replace it. Sam decided to wait until the rain eased, however, it was getting heavier.
I arrived at the hostel and stripped down, and put my gear in the dry room, and met up with Alex and chilled for a while. It was getting close to 11 am, this was the time I needed to leave the guys and make the trip to Holyhead to get the 1:50 pm Ferry to Ireland.
Sam arrived looking dejected and wet. and decided to shower and get ready for his and Jame’s hike up Snowdon.
Alex had a good idea of staying inside all day. 🙂
Lucky for me the rain stopped, and the sun came out. I loaded up and headed down the mountain pass, all the way to Holyhead.
I stopped at a shop to get a new charger, as I had left mine in my pocket, which was open and it got wet and died.
The sun was hot. and it looked great out now.
I was on my way to Dublin!
