Llanwrst, Gwynedd, Wales
Watching the weather forecast at six o’clock last night, made a snap decision to go for a short break in North Wales. Sounds simple, but all the walking and cycling gear is kept in the loft (in crates) and Herdy is in storage behind fingerprint scanners and padlocks. Most of the packing done. Ready to…

Sunshine and Snow on Conic Hill
It is so much easier to set off walking in bad weather from a motorhome. Instead of dashing from the car and pulling on waterproofs in the rain, you just step from the door and start walking. And today we had warm sunshine, wind driven snow and everything in between. Conic Hill is only 361m…

Ben Venue
Woke early and, despite trying to prepare everything last night, took ages to eat breakfast and get on the road. The weather forecast for the afternoon was shocking, so we only had a short window to try and get up Ben Venue. The lower sections of the walk along the raging river and through the…

Loch Katrine
Loch Katrine is beautiful – a stunning lake surrounded by snow capped mountains, fringed with woods. We noticed that the car park had designated bays for motorhomes, and what looked like service points too. We walked on the north shore and up above the tree line, and watched as the showers passed and bathed the…
