It’s quite a drive for a quick meal from here so we stopped off at Cors Caron for a little walk around the boardwalks first. It wasn’t the nicest of days...

Nothing too extreme, probably just a walk up Cadair Idris. The icy temperatures and strong winds would have made it fairly exciting at those elevations. Unfortunately lockdown meant that we weren’t allowed to travel and were supposed to be staying at home....

We walked along the top of the beach between the pebbles and the golf course. There seems to be long lines wherever we looked. Across the railway line to where the bird hide used to...

However, during my Boxing Day Swim I discovered from a dog walker that there was a dead whale washed up on the beach. A dead whale at Ynyslas? that should be...
