Our Welsh Holiday - Locations and notes

As an accompaniment to the Holiday in Wales video here are the names of the places.

Beach - Aberdovey April 10th. First full day of our holiday and a very hot one. We all were buried at least once. Harry and Charlie were buried twice. Feet felt numb after being in the water for a few minutes however.

Walk in the Hills - Llanidloes, April 11th. Following a fairly short but steep route. We filmed the Running in Leaves video shortly after the clip of Harry and Charlie walking down the hill together.

See-Saw - Llanidloes. After finishing the walk

Feeding the lambs - April 12th. We stayed in some lovely log cabins 'Dwr Y Felin' surrounded by farmland, Hugh and Sarah took us to see the newborn lambs one morning which was great. We was really happy Harry and Charlie got to feed the orphan lambs. We were also able to stroke the calves, cows and horses . Something the boys will remember for a long time. On the walk to the farm we saw a lamb with his/her mother who had only just been born.

Climbing and Jumping - Aberystwyth, April 12th. Spent the day climbing walking around, climbing the hill to the top of the electric railway and walking to the castle which is where the video was taken.

Steam Train - Vale of Rheidol Railway to The Devil's Bridge, April 13th. A great ride following the side of a hill gaining 600ft. Very tight corners on a narrow gauge railway. The trip took about an hour. The boys would have loved it more if they had not been quite so preoccupied with eating. http://www.rheidolrailway.co.uk/

Caves - King Arthur's Labyrinth, April 15th. Perhaps the most worrying of paces to visit as Charlie did not make it down the cave at the Black Country Museum. However we made it in and loved it, so all was well. I noticed the website does not mention some of the best parts of the trip into the Labyrinth so I will not either but it does start with a boat ride. We were not allowed to film in the caves and it was too dark anyway, this was us emerging into the light at the end. It was an hour the boys really enjoyed. The gift shop seem to have loads of Knight merchandise that we ended up having to take home with us :( I took the picture below just before the boat ride out as we were last. I am sure no one minded me using a flash as they were round the corner. http://www.kingarthurslabyrinth.co.uk/



Hot Tub - Outside the Log Cabin we were staying in for the week

I do these things more for our own memories and records but thanks for taking an interest.
