GOWER / S WALES

RHOSSILI BAY - This where I stayed the week end. The site is in the dunes behind the beach half way along the beach. You can just see the caravans on the site in this pic.

The weather was forecast sunny and I had 3.5 days off so I decided to do my Gower camping trip I had been wanting to do for a long while now.

Sat - I set off on my bike with tent and stuff on the back. I wanted to stay at Hill End camp site which I had read about in the Guardian Camping Guide. The site is set just behind the dunes in the middle of Rhossili Bay near the village of Llangennith.

I just managed to get a pitch there even though it was a bank holiday week end. It is a great site:

Ive also got the area sussed for a trip there with the camper. The view at Rhossilli Car park has got to be one of the best views ever in a place where you can park a camper. The one in the pic is not mine; but mine will be there one day ;-)

Sun - I toured the Gower visiting The Mumbles, Oxwich Bay.

Mon - I set off early at 8. Called in at Porthcawl - Wild campervan heaven but too many people know about it. It would be OK for a stopover i suppose but it was very crowded with campers.

My final visit of my week end was to Tyntesfield House near Bristol. A fantastic victorian time capsule - a NT property.
