Wales - the Lôn Gwyrfai footpath



The beauty of Wales is very different from the beauty of the Cotswolds. We are here at the end of October - definitely not an ideal time, weather wise. We decided to spend our last week before heading home in Wales in order to visit Ronnie's first cousin Robert Ward and family. Rob is a professor at the University of Bangor. Robert and Ronnie have collaborated on some research papers over the past few years and Ronnie thought it would be fun to not only visit Robert and family but perhaps see the university as well.

However, between their work schedules, son Evans after school activities, Rob being sick with a cold and the weather turning awful, it's been difficult to even plan a time to get together. Hopefully we will still get to see them while here and do a bit of sightseeing as well. This morning, we woke to the news that Hurricane Gonzalo could bring winds as high as 70 mph across north Wales. It is windy and rainy here, just as it has been since we arrived on Sunday. Thankfully, it did clear for a few hours yesterday afternoon, so we bundled up and walked along a portion of the Lôn Gwyrfai foot path nearby. So there are lots of photos to share, and (as always) more where these came from!
