Thankfully, a much better day today ( thanks CY for the boot up the proverbial! Got that weather sorted now!)
But, boy am I in trouble with Mrs M. Suggested what looked like a nice walk ( book suggested 3 hours) but due to a slight cock up on the navigation front it turned into 5 hours, much of which was presumably like it must have been for the GIs trudging through the Mekong delta back in time! Anyway, eventually found our way down the hill, much lifting of dogs over stiles, and down to near Dulas beach - close enough for me to suggest we were exactly in the right place! Didn't go down awfully well.
Fortunately, now back on site, showered and bottle of sparkly stuff open to go with supper. I think I'm kind of forgiven, but haven't had the nerve to say what the plan for tomorrow is yet!

Took the bus into Cambridge, dog not too impressed about being on the bus,but settled down. The city was really busy, masses of foreign tourists. Had a walk along the river, resisted the punting! Did
a bit of window shopping and took in some of the colleges.
Found a nice little cafe attached to a church, wonderful home made scones. It got really too warm after lunch so came back to the site for a bit of R&R.
It's back home tomorrow

Glad you've sorted the weather....thanks.
We nearly had a similar problem to yourselves with paths of thick mud, but decided that a measured retreat was the better option. Ended up with a 2.5 hr walk, so got back to the van early. Set to then and got the washer out and all done and dry now. Saves
having to set to and do it tomorrow before we head on over to CC's Much Wenlock site, the last time before it closes for good this year.

We were busy packing this morning for our two night stay away in the tent. So we spent the rest of the morning pitching the tent and getting all our camping gear out. Lovely weather for camping except it got a bit too hot. However, we found a shady spot under a tree for our relaxers and there was a cool breeze, so comfortable enough!
We had our lunch using the picnic table.

Hope you enjoyed Cambridge Helen. How did it compare to Oxford for you? It has been very warm here this afternoon here as well. Sorry your holiday is over. They go all too quickly dont they

We have done a few walks like that too, . If tou get chance Moulesy visit "The Dingle" nature reserve, at Llangefni nice walks and you may be lucky and see the red squirrels. Car park and entrance is almost opposite Asda.

Sounds good, Helen, & just down the road from us. But do they allow dogs on the walks?
