On a cold Wednesday my humans decided to chase the sun, human Wilfrid often did this when on holiday. Barmouth offered 4 days of wall to wall sunshine and so I was loaded with all the kit and saw an early start to transport them there. Sure enough it was hot!
After a day on Barmouth beach I took them to a remote campsite high above Barmouth. You can just see me in this picture, Cader Idris to the South, sea to the west.
Friday they left me in peace and quiet sunshine and walked the 2k to the beach. They returned at 20.00 hours looking very sun soaked. I was looking after 4 of them, my humans, Sarah, Mark and their granddaughter Phoebe, apparently Phoebe's first camping adventure.
Setting out for the beach.
Almost there and they still look very fresh.
The sensible human, protected against the midday sun.
Mad dogs and Englishmen, need I say more? This is just before my human fell asleep, result permanent socks.
The walk back, perhaps those fish and chips on the harbour were not such a good idea. They never learn.
Saturday was very hot and we drove home via Hellfire Pass or Bwlch-y-Groed (pass of the cross) a medieval pilgrimage route and now an iconic bike hill climb. human Wilfrid loved this pass and the view across the peat bogs of the Arrans from the top is amazing.
A cyclist about half way up the pass, it was hard enough for me.
Saturday was still very hot and they drove me home over the highest pass in Wales once known as Hellfire Pass, then down to Lake Vernwy one of human Wilfrids Favorite dammed lakes. Lots of narrow roads, steep hills and precipitous drops, magical.
Human Wilfrid's wife and my human's mom Peggy loved to see the Rhododendrons in Wales so I have included this one by the dam.
