Weekend away in USK

The Caravan Club Gwent  Centre was holding their Charity Rally in USK so with the motorhome packed we set off  in brilliant sunshine and was on site by 11am.   My cousin was coming down from Cheltenham and they arrived just after 11.30

This rally field is right on the banks of the river USK so plenty of fun and games for the kids with canoes.

This is  a popular  rally and  always well attended.

There was   lots of stalls and things to do and buy and the entertainment lasted all day  and ended with a karaoke in the evening. 

All money is given to local charities

5 Days away in Aberaeron West Wales

Wednesday  9th June  we set off for the caravan club site Shawsmead at Aberaeron in West Wales. This is the first time out in the motorhome since I had a stroke on the  4th May. The weather wasn’t brilliant and we left home around 11am. it took us about 2 1/2  hours  and it rained most of the way.

Our friends Pam & Cliff went there on Sunday they were staying in a static caravan for the week just up the road from the site we were on. Thursday we went on a tour of the beaches in the area.

Photos of some of the beaches we visited.

This is the smallest church in Wales
