Day 9 and 10 Tudweiliog to Criccieth 27mls, and Criccieth to Harlech 25mls.

Day 9

Horrible stormy night and even worse morning, so set off round the end of the Lleyn peninsular via Aberdaron for breakfast.

 Nearly got blown off our feet looking at the harbour, once the rain had lessened to heavy drizzle.
Carried on to Abersoch, followed by a supermarket in Pwllheli for supplies. Rain had stopped by this time, so after we had pitched up at Criccieth, a walk was on the cards, so after 2 mile down a gated lane we came upon a spooky church in the middle of nowhere, where all the names on the headstones were Jones or Williams. Got out of there fast, as darkness approached.

Spooky!

Day 10
What to do in north Wales in the rain and gales? I know, go on the narrow gauge railway from Porthmadog to Blaenau Festiniog slate mines.

 Actually very interesting, and incredible how anybody could work down these mines, 12 hrs a day, for most of their lives. We went down the deep mine, 4 layers out of 12 which stretch 23 mile into the mountain, and we felt like it was  middle earth, and very cold.

Going Down

Let me out of here

Well it was a wet day

This is Blanche

Low and behold the sun was shining when we came back up, so it was back on the Choo Choo to Porthmadog to buy some fresh Sea Bass, for tonight at the CC site, under the ley of Harlech Castle.
