Dambusters 75th Anniversary </h2>

Visit RAF Coningsby & Lincolsnshire Aviation Museum</h2>
<div>

<div>
On May 17th we visited RAF Coningsby & Lincolshire Aviation Museum which was the former Bomber Base known as RAF East Kirby. The planned flight over the Derwent Reservoir on the 16th was unfortunately cancelled due to adverse weather conditions but the following day Lancaster Bomber PA474 of the BBMF would take to the skies with Dambuster Veteran Bomb Aimer Johnny Johnson.</div>

At former RAF East kirby we visited "Just Jane" Lancaster NX611 which is preserved by the Panton Brothers in memory of their brother who died on Lancasters in WW2. The aircraft has been restored to near flying capability and on certain days she fires up and taxis with paying passengers who are eager to experience what it feels like when 4 merlin engines roar in to action. We were fortunate to be able to film Just Jane as she beat up the field (Also on the film linked above).</div>

Johnny Johnson was escorted into Lancaster PA474 then flown over the Derwent Dam to once again relive part of his integrel training which took place in the Peak District & Wales as they honed their skills for the pending mission in May 1943.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The breaching of the dams caused steel production to halt and it also consumed vital resources of man power to repair them again. The manpower which was better served elsewhere meant important work was stopped. The Dams Raid has had many controversal attacks and claims of its efficiency , however in the fog of 6 year war I think it unfair to scrutinize or doubt its worth as a mission, our eyes and views of the 21st century have no place in the views shared at the time in 1943.</div>

Travelling to Lincolnshire to persue aviation heritage from my youth I needed a base that gave me the option to plonk myself right in the middle of today's front line Air Force Jets and the beauty of the aircraft of yesteryear. The Campsite that fits the bill for me is the above mentioned campsite in East Kirkby. Nestled on the A155 and within walking distance of the beautiful Lancaster Bomber "Just Jane" and a mere 8 mile drive from the Air Base at RAF Coningsby which is home to the Typhoon and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight "What more could you want!".<br />

The campsite welcomes people from all walks of life also dogs and children are welcome. There are little tables to sit in the summer sun and enjoy the passing aircraft going to and from Coningsby which could be a fast jet or 4 roaring merlins of the "Lanc" or you could put one foot in front of the other and visit the museum where "Just Jane" resides.</div>

Here is a little insight into the history of Scrooby and the Pilgrim Fathers - <span style="background-color: white; color: #333300; font-family: Cambria, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are few rural villages with which the early history of the colonization of the United States is entwined in so interesting a manner as it is with that of</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333300; font-family: Cambria, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><strong style="color: #333300; font-family: Cambria, "Times New Roman", serif;">Scrooby</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #333300; font-family: Cambria, "Times New Roman", serif;">, a little cluster of cottages surrounded by a few larger residences near the Great Northern Railway, between Retford and Bawtry. The tiny river Ryton still runs its course, as it has done for centuries, spanned at one end of the village street by a water-mill, the ancient stones of which bear the names of the people who cut them in 1710.</span></div>

Scrooby, now so little noticed, was once the seat of the Archbishops of York, and, curiously enough, in its old archiepiscopal mansion the leaders of the Pilgrim Fathers met here they had completed their project for colonizing New England. </div>

Beautiful Porth Ysgaden is situated just up from Morfa Nefyn on the Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales. Its a great place to walk, fish, swim or just enjoy the views and the wildlife in any season. In fact the fishing can be very rewarding.</div>

<br />
We took ourselves from Holyhead for a short drive to the sleepy coastal town of Cemaes Bay to the Nth East of the Island. Its a beautiful little place and readily warms to passing visitors who pop by to spend a day or night whilst on the move around Angelsey.<br />
<br />
We stayed in the car park to the far end of the town which in the dead of night the only sounds are the waves gently ushering you to sleep. Its a great spot for walking and beach combing or if you fancy a little historical venture a 4th century"Llanbadrig Church of St. Patrick" awaits you just over the hill along the bay, and is also a beautiful and scenic coastal walk what ever the weather.<br />
<br />

<br />
The town has a quaint little harbour with a Harbour Master resident and is filled with small vessels which are for mainly pleasure and only echo the very distant past of its heritage from long ago as a busy port. Fishing trips and sight seeing trips for Dolphins, Minky Whales even Orca! can be booked directly from the harbour simply enquire.<br />
<br />
There are some eateries on the high street and places for refreshment of an evening and I would recommend any them.<br />
<br />
Parking is paid at the little kiosk and snack bar during the day<br />
£2 for a full day Parking<br />
£15 for overnight<br />
The toilets are open all day and closed at night on the main car park and they also have fresh drinking water.<br />

We parked up at the bottom car park at the South Stack and decided to have a look where the paths to our right led to. We st off toward the RSPB Cafe and then off to the right along the first path. The walk ways are pretty sturdy under foot but do diminish as you climb higher toward the base of Holyhead Mountain.<br />
<br />
I would recommend decent foot wear that supports the ankle but you could get away with trainers in the dry months "Yes there are dry months on the island!".<br />
<br />
The views didn't disappoint as we began to climb and we decided to go as far as Tracy would allow for the day as she has a fear of heights and occasionally likes to take on her phobia head on and give it a run for its money but she knows when to stop too.<br />
<br />

<br />
We took the route that led us from the point labelled number 8 on the map and proceeded via numbers 3, 5 and almost to 4 before Tracy and myself decided it was enough for one day and would save the view of the North Stack for another day.<br />

So if your fancying a park up around the Stacks of Angelsey and a bit of stretch in between enjoying the views of the island please take a trip and make a memory or two and don't forget your camera!<br />

The remains of 20 or so farmstead huts are worth a visit if you are on Holy Island especially if your to do list includes the South Stack at Holyhead. They huts are over 2.5 thousand years old and the were the homes of some of the very first farmers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The views are stunning in 360 direction and make for a pleasant afternoon walk. The car par is right opposite the huts and its free parking.<br />

A visit to the South Stack in Angelsey can be for many reasons but I will try and outline a few reasons that attract me to return time after time. Situated on the Isle of Angelsey ("Ynys Mon"), Holy Island which is the far north is home to some of most stunning sunsets on offer.<br />

Tal -Y - Bont North Wales</h2>
<br />
Is a seaside beach resort area in between Barmouth and Harlech. It sits between the sea and the Cambrian mountains.<br />
It has a small parking area near to the beach which is wide enough for camper vans but once parked up you will find you may be there for the day especially at weekends as movement will be restricted to turn around comfortably as people arrive in cars.<br />
<br />
There is a small Ice Cream Parlor on the left as you park which has refreshments available. There are no facilities at all other than that so be prepared to be self sufficient.<br />
<br />

<br />
When you approach the beach from the main road you will have to drive slowly and give way to traffic going to and from the resorts.<br />
<br />
Need a layby to stay in away from the beach? Simply drive out of the resort turn right towards Barmouth on the A496 and there are plenty of Laybys that present themselves for e.g. enter this postcode and there are 2 large laybys either side of the A496.<br />
<br />
A496, Talybont LL43 2BZ<br />

If you want nice walks, babbling water the comfort of a campfire to while away your evening then try visiting the Crown Inn at Corwen. This traditional pub has been serving local welsh ales since the 1700s a popular meeting point for landsmen and farmers alike over the centuries has now opened its doors and arms to campers and day trippers descovering the beauty of the Conwy Valley.<br />
<br />
The community is friendly and proud of it heritage and in the you will hear the chatter of Welsh and English together as here deep in the Conwy Valley Welsh is the first language, farmers and auctioneers deal and sell their produce as they have done for hundreds of years in their mother tongue. Then as quick as you like switch over to English to ask a visitor where they are from and how are they enjoying their stay "friendly" is an understated description they are exceptional.<br />
<br />
The food is excellent and priced accordingly and although its nice to camp and escape the grind of the kitchen its also nice to be pampered too by some of tempting menu options available in the Crown. Here are some of my choices during my stay:<br />
<br />
Full English/Welsh Breakfast!<br />

Talacre Beach - Flintshire Nth Wales</h2>
<div>

<div>
Talacre Beach is a beautiful place to visit, there is a bakery, Ice cream Parlour, Chip Shop, amusements, free toilets and House hold wares shop all nestled along the road leading to the beach. parking in the main car park is no longer free but there is free parking on the beach as long as the gates are open you can drive on to the beach. In high season the road leading to the beach can become crowded. Its best to arrive early and leave late as there is no longer over night parking allowed. Don't be dismayed about no overnight as there is a parking layby that can be used near the base of the Gronant Village (only 5 mins drive see details at bottom of the blog).<br />

Traeth Lligwy is a beautiful spot and a very popular stop with day trippers and campers alike. There is a campsite just before the beach if you would prefer to stay within the confines of a camp with amenities on hand. Or if you fancy the wilder side of camping then this beach also suits you with granted permission from the car park owners for overnight stops Note* limited to 2 nights in high season and payment of £10 per night made at the cafe in high season but in low season the cafe is closed.<br />

The beach is a beautiful "horseshoe shape" and is lavished with clean sands and clear water which is great for any type of coastal activity that you may desire. There is a great walk to Moelfre and this forms part of the Welsh Coastal Path, Moelfre has a few shops, cafe and pubs and there is a large car park just off street Fford Lligwy and there are no height restrictions and there are public toilets in the car park see ariel shot.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Llyn Crafnant is situated in the Snowdonia National Park right on the edge of Gwydir Forest just above the village of Trefriw. Its a great spot for those who want to escape and relax in a rural setting. The Llyn is a great walk with stunning scenery and the path around is 2.4 miles on a gravel path which is also doable if your pushing a buggy!.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are other walks available which are carefully mapped out on an information board in the car park just below the Llyn. These are range from easy to a more strenuous walk that will test out those willing to push themselves that little bit further. There is also a walk to Capel Curig if you proceed straight over the back of the Llyn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are facilities in the car park like toilets and litter disposal containers and Free Parking!. The car park is set in the woodland to one side next a stream running off the Llyn with picnic benches set on the edge of the Gwydir Forest over looked by steep valley slopes of the Carneddau Mountains.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are wild ponies and a waterfall to see when on a walk on the trails.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Here is a link to watch a short film I took in winter of Jan 2017 to highlight a few points about the Llyn.</div>

This is a mecca for climbers, geologists and walkers alike. The British 1953 Expedition for Mnt Everest trained in this location and resided at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen-y-Gwryd_Hotel">Pen-y-Gwryd_Hotel</a> at the east end of the pass. The Cromlech Boulders were saved from destruction in 1973 as part of a proposed road widening scheme, the protest lasted 6 years tirelessly campaigned by Climbers, Geologists, Conservationists and Walkers until they won and the boulders remain to this day.</div>

\New Years Eve Firework Display</div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How about New Years Eve in Wales!, as I can only answer for Nth Wales here is beautiful Caernarfon, there is a fireworks display near the Castle and there is parking across from the castle on Aber Shore Road which is used by Motorhomes throughout the year. Then opposite you have The Angelsey where you can get a drink. If you are thinking of attending, check with the Angelsey in case there is an entrance fee and if you intend to park, get there early as I think these places will be snapped up and please post a couple of your photographs on here for your fellow campers, I hope this post is helpful regards James.</span><br />

<b>Angelsey - Holyhead</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a great place to park and wild camp with a multitude of facilities and your finger tips, with views of the 2nd largest Breakwater in the world, only 2nd to Florida. There is a museum and Gallery situated on the site where the rock to build the Breakwater was quarried from. The Old buildings have been utilised to create a Cafe and a Gallery where the furnaces were situated. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area from seabirds to raptors and the Chough (a member of the crow family) are all residents. Out to sea there are views toward Ireland and a range of Sea Mamals from Dolphins to Humpback Whales have all been observed and even the occasional Orca or Basking Shark. The walks that take you along the Welsh Coastal Path are nothing short of breath taking and refreshing and in good weather a lovely way to sit and observe the wildlife on land and sea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Breakwater is no longer accessible by vehicle but can walked along and cycled. Stena who own the property now have restricted vehicle access due to excess littering and safety grounds, although there is always optimism that they may allow vehicles to camp over night on the Breakwater in the future. I have parked on the entrance to the Breakwater many times (just enter these co-ordintaes to your sat nav LL65 1Y ) and its just through the gates on your right and spent the night and have never had anyone ask me to move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The marina and Breakwater are great for fishing (there are bait shops in the town), Kayking and Storm watching.</div>
