Jonny70 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Word of advice: 2 season sleeping bag = not warm enough... as I discovered this weekend...haha, i always take a big double duvet to line the bottom of the tent with then sleeping bag goes ontop. Mine is only a cheap one so might be worth getting a better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lululupo Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Haha I'm from Anglesey!To be honest there isnt a lot to do, but there are some really beautiful spots.Whereabouts are you camping?

If I know where you're near I can tell you whats nearby I haven't a clue how to pronounce it but the closest town to our campsite is called "betws y coed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lululupo Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I haven't a clue how to pronounce it but the closest town to our campsite is called "betws y coed"Betws Y Coed is about 30mins away from where I live, haha lucky me! Hmm well, nearby there's a place called Bethesda (its signposted) its not great but quite 'quaint' I suppose, there's a nice drive through there that takes you past Lake Ogwen, which has got nice views and its good for climbing if you're into that, the mountains called Llyn Idwal.Also try Llanberis (again not far) bright painted buildings etc, good for outdoors stuff, there's a castle and a watersports place.Or you could do the tourists favourite thing and go to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychgwyndrobwchsantyseiliogogogoch (also known as Llanfairpwll - the place with the longest name in the country) Its rubbish if you're local, but tourists just love posing with the sign lol.Gripping I know, but this is North Wales we're talking about Let me know if you wanna know anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lululupo Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Oh and Betws Y Coed itself isnt bad for stuff to do. Also beaches-wise, try Benllech or Llanddwyn (you have to pay to go on Llanddwyn but thats cos its one of those 'Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty thingies) To get to Llanddwyn follow signs to Newborough.For other random stuff I can think of off the top of my head try:Holyhead - can get the ferry over to Dublin or go to South Stack lighthouse (it was on Most Haunted lol)Beaumaris - go to the jail (also on Most Haunted) or the castleThe outdoor maze in Conwy valleyBeddgelert - good for mountain biking/hikingCant think of anything else...I should work for the North Wales tourist board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt~black Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 i used to go kayaking on the tyweryn really shallow at points used to drag ure head along floor at points if u fail lol best thing around there is driving driving and more driving until you either run out of fuel or get arrested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) ^ As you can see from the image, Everyone there is trapped in 40 year old peoples clothes.I love how the Translation from welsh to english for "gogogoch" becomes "By the red cave"lmao.
