We arrived on site at 12.30  and we were meeting up with my cousin from Cheltenham. After setting up and a brew we had a ride into Machynlleth a small quaint town about 8 miles from the site. The wild life on this site is wonderful.

The weather was  a bit  of a mixture  rain and sunshine but not enough rain to stop us going out  sightseeing. There is some beautiful scenery around that part of Wales.

 

All the above photos were taken at LLwyn Clywcdog reservoir .

Bank Holiday in Henley on Thames

Friday 27th May we set off to join a caravan club rally with the Gwent Centre at Henley on Thames for 4 nights.. This was a nice site within 10 minutes walk of Henley town centre.

The weather wasn’t at all good it was overcast most of the time and with quite a keen wind. On the bank holiday Monday it rained all day. Tuesday. Not got very good photos but we were entertained every day with the red kites.

Well the rain started at 6pm and didn’t stop it hammered down all night. Bernard wondered if he would get the motorhome off ok.

We decided to take the motorhome out and I drove the car to a nearby lay by to hitch up so all went well.

We arrived home just after 12.30.
