15 Sep Aberdyfi 2025 Day 1 The journey and arrival!
Well, we made our way through the buffeting wind and rain, a typical M6 standing traffic delay and then were greeted by wild weather in Wales!
Strangely as soon as we arrived this disappeared, almost as if the children had wished it so!
We’ve made beds, that was interesting, some children seem to think pillows go inside duvet covers! We had a fabulous evening meal, been highly successful at orienteering then tidied rooms, had showers – I really don’t want to go into that! Then finally all of the children have gone to bed dreaming about tomorrow’s adventures.
I won’t be able to post again until tomorrow evening, but if you have time comment on posts and I will share these with your children.
Goodnight!
