Tuesday 1st May –Tan-y-Bryn Farm, Bryn Pydew, Landudno Junction


We had consulted the BBC 24hr forecast that told us that it would be dry in North Wales until mid afternoon when the rain would arrive. We therefore planned to walk around Great Orme in the morning and then visit the copper mine in the afternoon. However, it was already raining when we woke up and it showed no sign of improving. The forecast for the next few days looks better so we decided to spend the day on the site.
There was a gap in the weather at 11:30 allowing us to take a short walk. We went east along the road passed the permanent caravan park (weirdly with the same name 'Tan-y-Bryn' but no connection with our site) and looked for the car park and bird reserve marked on the OS map. The car park was no more than a lay-by and the bird reserve turned out to be an area of woodland with no signs or information boards. Still, it was a pleasant walk, gave us some fresh air and we managed to complete it in the dry. The rest of the day was spent reading, watching the World Championship Snooker and watching the many showers coming in.
