Wales - Day 11 Nant-y-Moch reservoir

Image
The previous evening I had felt really dizzy while out photographing the sunset and was still feeling a little ropey the next day. We were in such a wonderful place however that we had to look around the Nant-y-Moch reservoir, fringed by the Cambrian Mountains. We drove north after this, passing Ynys Hir bird reserve and the Osprey Centre which Alan visited while I stayed in the van.I realised that I must have some sort of inner ear infection and when we stopped at Aderdovey Alan made an appointment for me to see a local GP who examined me, agreed with my diagnosis and gave me a prescription for tablets. They did not start working immediately and I found that everytime I tried to move I was ill. The next morning we drove into Trefor, where we had booked a cottage for a week, with a bowl propped in front of me - how nice.

Wales - Day 10 Strumble Head and a move further north

Image
The morning of Day 10 we drove up a little way to Trevine where we had stayed one autumn 3 years ago. Going down to the small beach we were followed by members of a painting group who set up their easels among the rocks. We stopped for a little while at Strumble Head.The sky was overcast and dark and we did not see very much - only one seal and no porpoises as we have done before. From there we drove back into mid Wales, to a very primitive and lonely campsite in the midst of the Cambrian mountains, not far from Nant-y-Moch reservoir and the Plynlimon range, home of the rivers Severn and Wye. The sun went down as we were eating and I begun to realise I was not feeling 100%. Trevine Trevine
