Sunday 20th May – Ty Newydd, Uwchmynydd


The campsite owner gave us a photocopy of a circular walk around the campsite. As we walked along the coast we spotted a seal fishing in amongst the buoys marking the position of lobster pots. Jane turned back for the campsite whilst I carried on along the coast. Standing on the headland of Pen-Y-Cil I watched a school of porpoises swimming against the strong current flowing here. It was a privilege to watch them breaking the surface before diving after the fish. I took some photographs to prove to Jane that I had seen them – tiny black dots in a big grey sea!
Just after I turned inland at Porth Meudwy, a miracle happened – the sun came out! By the afternoon there was a cloudless blue sky and, for the first time on this sojourn, we were able to sit outside in T shirts. We were beginning to wonder why we had brought the garden chairs with us! Lets hope that this is the start of a good spell of weather.
This will be our third night at Ty Newydd and we can thoroughly recommend this very pleasant campsite.
