Sunday morning and, after breakfast, off to Caernafon Castle and then the seaside. Being new to this motorhome lark we didn't have much idea where to park in Caernafon - so after a brief look at the coach park (free for coaches - but no indication as to whether anything other than coaches can park there) we followed signs for the castle. This meant negotiating a tunnel with an alleged clearance of 3 meters although we seemed to clear it by a fair margin.
The harbour car park was shut - so we ended up doing a couple of laps of the castle before deciding that we could fit in a parking space on the road outside the entrance to the castle (no restrictions on Sunday - 30 minutes on any other day).
We had a good look round the castle, (www.caernafon.com) it is definitely well worth the visit, although our daughter was upset that there was no princess living there.
We then headed towards the coast and found a great parking place overlooking Foryd Bay at the Y Foryd Local Nature Reserve - it looked like a great place to wild camp but there was signage that suggested no overnight camping - actually, the text said something about not launching boats and the graphics seemed to have something to do with not setting fire to tents - your guess is as good as mine.
It was a great place to stop for lunch made even better by the fact that we were carrying our own kitchen with us!
Lunch and playing on the beach over we headed back to the campsite at Beddgelert to try and produce a Sunday roast, a touch ambitious maybe but it all worked well.
Read books for a while and then bed.
The only problem so far is that the bed made out of the rear lounge is incredibly hard (or so my wife tells me - I could probably sleep on a concrete slap and not notice), this problem is likely to be solved by investing in a couple of Raskelf Duvalays.
