Detour to Llanberis

Lots of lakes to view along the way and there is another lake in Llanberis itself
There was a train ride up the mountain for £25 but the 4hr wait, made my mind up.
So the stroll around the lake was extremly enjoyable
Car parks were expensive they want £12 for the train car park and then £4 for a lake side car park so i parked there. Later that day i found a free car park a little further up the lake with public toilets where i filled the water tanks..and had a great night sleep over looking the beautiful lake...

Across to the UK

We spent the first night over looking Llyn Clywedog dam a beautiful sight and free of charge ;-) We met a couple with a campervan that pulled into the car park 20minutes after us and decided to stay the night.
We had a few drinks together and thoroughly enjoyed the evening

Maiden Voyage

I took the camper out for its first official trip, we went to Achill Island west coast of Ireland. Very beautiful spot to visit lovely beaches on a nice day its the perfect place in Ireland to visit.
Plenty of space to park up with the camper all along the beach, litterally 20ft from the ocean waves and you can park up for free ;-)
In this photo you can see one of the beaches below this is quite a steep descent and the camper wizzed back up no problem.

I then went to Westport about 30miles away and stayed down on the quay. There used to be a lovely little car park you could pull into put they put a 1.9m height restriction. Anyway there is still a little room on the slip road around the tiny lake so i stayed there for the night and heres a photo of the view next morning.



This beach is amazing, stayed their for days and very few people come to it.
Parking is amazing and free..we stayed litterally 20yards from the crashing waves

Skirts are on !

Well the Skirts are on... took me all day each side, bending them, measuring and cutting slots out and then working how to finish by the rear wheels.
Your probably saying why the hell has he done it like that ;-) well i just dont like the skirt going all the way to the back, but i think i may have to add something to the rear once my tool boxes are fitted underneath ;-)
