We had thought about
staying a third night in Edern but it rained during the night and
there were showers in the morning. We decided to move on to the tip
of the Lleyn.
The first stop was the
butcher in the village to pick up a dressed crab. Unfortunately he
had received his delivery so we moved on to the cromlech just off the
B4417 a mile south of Trudweiliog. There are an incredible number of
campsites and we passed many on the way to Porth Oer. We parked in
the National Trust car park and walked down to the beach known in
English as Whispering Sands. The guide book told us that the name
came from the sound made as you walk on the sand. At first we
couldn't hear any sound but we then found that if you scuffed your
feet it produced an interesting sound although it is better described
as a squeak rather than a whisper. This part of the coast is really
rugged and we enjoyed the short circular walk around the coast and
back to the car park arriving just before the rain started.
After lunch we headed
south west and found a campsite very close to the tip – Ty Newydd
at Uwchmynydd. Another Ty Newydd but much better value – the same
price (£15 per night) but with a café
and a recently renovated (and much cleaner) shower block. We have an
excellent view of Bardsey Island from our pitch.
