Heading north

After watching Adam firing up his kiln (wood fired) we bade farewell to Val and Wyn and set off for our 3 hour drive up the coast. The journey to Barmouth took longer than expected as there were many roadworks.

We called in to the Centre for Alternative Technology near Machynlleth which has free admission in the winter season. Good that it was free and we didn't pay £17 as it was a waste of time - badly maintained exhibits and many sections just reserved for students attending courses. It really needs some attention.

Just up the road was a craft centre.....closed.

Fortunately our apartment was ready for us to check into early. We met the owners David and his wife Heather - who was born and brought up in Fleet!

The apartment is lovely with fabulous views. We are here for 4 nights and should be able to leave the car again.

After settling in we walked into the town to check it out and buy food.
