Not much to report - was busy at work and did some good stuff at home including fixing an outdoor shelter for camping. Also bought some ace stuff and some crap stuff from John Pye Auctions (bit disappointed but learnt from it).

After Lucy packed off to School, me the missus and the Dog went to Wales. The Met Office had predicted Heavy Showers all weekend so we booked into a hotel (Anchorage Hotel on Four Mile Bridge between Valley and Trearddur Bay). As it turned out the weather was far more benign with an occasional bit of drizzle until we set off for home on Sunday with Kayak on the roof!

Nice fish and chips at the hotel - can't knock the food. Left dog in the room and she behaved, bless her.

Up early - dog walked first thing - breakfast about 7:30am - very nice. Went to Penrhos retail park to get missus a hairbrush!! Then down to Newborough Forest as I've always wanted to go - bosskat really liked it so that was good. Cracking looking spot for fishing perhaps need a bike though!
We spent a couple of happy hours walking at Newborough and checking out the fishing spots (no ulterior motives on my part I'll have you know) then back to the car and off to the next stop - Plas Newydd. Plas Newydd is a stately home looked after by the national trust - normally it's about £12 to get in but it was an open doors even so entrance was free (I was emailed about this so though we'd better take advantage!). It's a beautiful spot and the art inside is stunning (in my view). Lovely place.

Back to Trearddur as the missus insisted I got some bait for fishing (which in the end I didn't use but hey ho!
Found a spot on the inland sea that looked good for spinning but didn't get any bites. Never mind and a cracking look camping site if you wanted to go yakking/fishing on the inland sea?

Meal with Vic and Linda at 6pm - best burger I've ever had (don't tell the missus though).
Sunday 10th September 2017
Up early, dog walked, top breakfast again - was full all day pretty much! Over to Church Bay - a bit grimmer today but got the yak loaded up ready for transit back to Ashbourne.
