Our first camping trip of the year was to Abersoch – to the site right next door to where Nicola and Nigel have their static caravan.  The weather was great for the weekend and we managed a couple of walks, a pub meal out and ice cream!

We arrived on Friday and met up with Nicola and Nigel for dinner at their place – we played a few games I’d brought so the humans were happy and the dogs were happy together too.

On Saturday Nigel drove us all to Borth-y-Gest and we did a circular walk with Nicola and Nigel’s friends Mick and Dawn along the coastal path to Black Rock Sands.  We had lunch at a well timed break at Black Rock Beach Club en route.  We stopped in Criccieth on the way back for a short trip to the beach.  On Saturday evening we walked to the Sun Inn where the 6 of us (and Olaf) had a really nice meal and had fun playing Rhino Hero… and I think we might have inadvertently caused the purchase of multiple copies by others who were watching us play in the pub!

On Sunday we walked on the lanes around the campsite to the headland and the beach at Hell’s Mouth and then stopped in Abersoch on the way back for ice cream.

Unfortunately Olaf found the weekend quite stressful with the noise of vehicles moving about the site and walking on the roads.  So on Monday we set off for home (despite the original plan being to stay until Tuesday).  We’re going to go back to the campsite in September but this time leave Olaf in his happy place with his dog friends at Lea’s.. which is a little heart breaking for us as we like being with him but the right thing for him.
