Camped nearby and walked along the shore line.

Lovely photo btw @motacyclist, makes me want to go there even though i was exactly there two days ago. The power of a photo!

@motacyclist Is Robin's the name of the campsite, or the area - do you have a link? Been to Nefyn before but not in the Cali, so this definitely looks like a near future trip!

No, Robin is the name of Mark's Cali!

But, I wrote a review of the camp site we stayed at here

Graenfryn Farm, Morfa Nefyn, Lleyn Peninsula

and you will see some more photos of the area.

Driving back from the mountains to Geneva a month or so ago and had a surreal moment - going past an area called "La Californie" at the exact time the song "California" came on the radio.
It was clearly "A Sign" of destiny and now the happy owner of our Cali, bought last week

Haha OK that makes more sense now! Thanks for the link - one added to the list

Thought we’d go to Chirk Castle today, but due to the weather (?) it was shut! So we set up camp outside.

Must order a set of these gates for our house


Went for a walk along the Shropshire Union Canal nearby, through the tunnel which is about ¼ mile long and out on to the aqueduct on the other side.


More info on the tunnel here
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirk_Tunnel

Mrs M had to close her eyes crossing here! Must be weird in a narrow boat 100 feet or so above the valley below.

Back to the ‘van for lunch, then a quick walk around Chirk C & MC Club site. Many years since we last stopped here.

Finally a stop for coffee at Farndon in the way home. The River Dee is not usually as high as it is here.


Perfect day.

A great day out in Arnside Cumbria. Not very many shops however it’s a cracking walk down the estuary watching the trains fly over the viaduct

Hahahaah, amazing @motacyclist . You know everywhere. Made a bacon butty here and this was our view, first time to use the camper as a camper rather than a car, amazing experience!!!

Can you come and check our new build house out, we’ve got cold spots and suspect the insulation is missing!

Conwy, North Wales, near the Marina. The mountain you can see has the ruins of Deganwy Castle at the top.

No problem Colin. Just give me your postcode and I'll send the drone over tonight

Don't want to make a new thread, so here are some photos from our 3 month autumn trip to Norway.

Wow - what incredible photo's ... thanks for sharing ... some pics are close to what we see in NZ ... love the northern lights though!
