A Grand Day Out

We decided that yesterday as it was warm and sunny to visit the seaside.
Living in the Midlands we are a long way from the sea and it take around 110 miles to get there, Barmouth on the coastline of Wales is a spot I have never been to so it seemed a good place to head to.
We got up reasonably early had a good breakfast and set off.
We were soon zooming up the M5 and joining the M6 then just a couple of junctions to the M54 to Telford then on to Shrewsbury and then at last into the glorious Welsh countryside that is the Snowdonia National Park, I love driving through there it reminds me so much of my home county Yorkshire and the beautifull Yorkshire Dale National Park.( The picture above shows some of the stunning scenary) with in a couple of hours we were there.
We parked up the car and headed off for something to eat.
Barmouth is a very pretty, clean, and quiet place to take a break with a beautifull clean beach and crystal clear water.




It has fantastic views which ever way you look and we couldn't wait to go in and have a paddle in the sea

We had a thoughourly nice day out and around mid afternoon we headed off back home
The round trip was 238 miles I used just over 4 gallons of fuel (read previous post)
and on getting back home we found this the first one to open this year
