We have had three great days touring Snowdonia and visiting friends, family,National Trust castles and houses and a few narrow gauge railways. The following pictures give a flavour of them.

Back onto the canal tomorrow to make our way to Llangollen, its surprising how we have both started to miss the fact that we are not on the move.
