Camping in New Quay, West
Wales
Does it count as gallivanting if you are with your parents?
Well I don’t suppose it does in the usual meaning of the word,
but I had just left my job selling property in the City of London
after a seven year stint and travelling through West Wales seemed
like gallivanting to me!
We got to Cei Bach touring park, New Quay
on a really wet day.
We travelled (me & my father) in my parents’ brand new
motor home, and what a fantastic motor home it is!
When I was a child
I always dreamt of having a motor home, stopping off on a lay by
..making a cup of tea… The dream of making
a cup tea quickly deteriorated as my mum never even bought a kettle
throughout the holiday! At least now I know what to buy her
for xmas. -then my fantasy will be fulfilled ! The motor home
was a two birth so my mum and my daughter followed us through the
Welsh Hills in their 4 x 4.
Once we got to Cei Back we had the joyous
task of putting the tent up in the wind and rain, between the four
of us it took about half an hour to put up , as I knocked
the last tent peg drenched in my damp clothes the sun decided to
make an appearance! Typical
!. Once the tent had been pitched and our belongings off loaded
from the motor home and into our tent we decided to explore New quay. After
such a long drive we needed to stretch our legs so a brisk walk was
on our agenda.
The campsite was situated about a mile and a half from New Quay.
The very nice chatty lady on reception pointed us in the right direction
towards the beach thus leading to New quay. What a lovely open
beach it was. The fresh sea air was such a lovely feeling for
the lungs. Bliss!
A walk into New Quay ...
We arrived at New quay harbour within 40 minutes. We would
have got there quicker if there hadn’t been a river running
through the sand going towards the sea. What a laugh…seeing
my mum tip toeing on rocks and wood she laid across the river so
she wouldn’t get her feet wet…we all failed miserably
on that task apart from my daughter Ophelia, who’s feet
were bone dry!
The harbour was so picturesque, no wonder they
filmed Edge
of Love here, it is truly beautiful. The first port of call was the
Gastro Pub called Penwig Hotel. We were all famished by now
after that brisk walk.
The atmosphere was friendly.. there was a mix
of tourists and locals there and plenty of eye candy too, surfer
type dudes! The
food was splendid, I think if I was to criticize it would be there
was to much food on the plate ! .Not good for the waistline!
After
our delicious food we had our drinks on the large terrace at the
front of the pub it overlooks the harbour. It was lovely
sitting and watching the world pass by with my family and having
the warmth of the sun made it even better.
The second day we decided
to go to Llangranog beach – apparently
the day was going to be a scorcher. We packed our swim wear and off
we went, it.....
