Another great few days away...

We've just returned from an excellent few days away in the motorhome at Shell island, nr. Harlech, N. Wales.

We counted just 6 motor homes and 3 tents in all the 300 acres available for camping (By the sea, in the dunes, fields or the woods)....We payed £12.50 per night (Two people and one dog). No electric, but everything else you could possibly need is on site, yet quietly tucked away at the entrance.

We've been several times to this unique, camp where you want site, but this time was the best yet. Good, warm weather and hardly any punters!

The icing on the cake was the drive home via Beddgelert, Capel Curig, Betws-y-Coed and Llangollen.....superb, sunny autumn tints all the way!

For those who have not been to Shell Island before, a word of warning...Avoid July and August!

Now let's see. Water tank cleaned and re-filled, gas bottles checked...Where's that camping book? Now winter is approaching, the sites that remain open are virtually empty...and a bit cheaper too. Can't wait to get out of the van and make a snowman!

Cheers all.....

Lovely 
I was introduce to this site this year and will be going back next year especially when children are at school.
All that space to choose from 
And the view of the sea
Wil post in I Will be at or I am going to
When going 
And what a lovely journey home you had

Thanks Polly, yes it is a great place and we were so lucky to have the site virtually to ourselves.
We managed to park in our usual place, down a little track so we could park right by the beach.
We had the pleasure of a school of dolphins playing right opposite our van just as the sun was setting - superb!

The only down side to the site is it can get very busy, so chose your visit carefully.
Also, remember to check the tide tables, as the place gets cut off when the tide comes in....

You never know, we might be sharing a drink together some time next year!!

Cheers.....
