On to Llanidloes, with more museums, including this one which was all about timber-framed buildings. This looked like an up-coming place, verging on trendy I would say. I got a lovely cake and brie/cranberry sarnie for my lunch.
I stopped in a lay-by on the Dolgellau road, and annoyingly when I drove on a mile there was a glorious picnic site overlooking the reservoir. Next time...
Another stop - this time at Dolgellau, another spruce town. I have really been pleasantly surprised on this trip at how smart and prosperous a lot of Welsh towns look in comparison to my memories of the '70s. Here I bought some juicy fruit and a pair of cropped walking trousers - no more wet ankles on campsites!
I drove through Bala, and it looked splended, the lake was covered in sails, and the sign at the edge of the town had been amended to say 'Welcome to Bale'! The country has gone footie mad.
Called in at a glass shop, called Glassblobbery, which is worth popping in to if you are in the area.
Last night, on Corwen CC affiliated site, and pretty jammed in in comparison to all the smaller places I have stayed.
Final stop - a visit to Wrexham to see the wrinklies (Hi Mum!)
