Day: September 7, 2020

Day 167 Prestatyn beach walk, chillin’ and maybe a fair bit of food….. 😬

So we had the opposite problem last night…. or I did anyway, I was ROASTING in bed as we bought a 4.5 tog king size duvet and cheap cover yesterday… I spend half the night de-layering in my sleep. I woke at 3.42am and couldn’t get back to sleep until we realised our heads were ever so slightly lower than our feet so we had to burl round. That’s a great Scottish word, “burl”!! No mean feat with 3 dogs in the tent too!!

So back to sleep and up at 7 to walk the dogs then back into bed until 9.30am. I reckoned if I got up then I might be a little less grumpy if I stayed up at 7am!?! Hmmmmm not sure…. 🤔😬

7am dog walk
Entrance to Penisar Mynydd campsite ⛺️
Gorgeous flowers found the reception
Love the colours!

Had veggie sausages on a roll for breakfast and a lovely coffee made by Craigie because he stayed up at 7am 🤔🥱

Then we jumped in Jeepey and headed down to Prestatyn beach 🏖 to talk the dogs for a big run. Honestly the minute we got out the Jeep the heavens opened!

Ready for a big run!

Prestatyn beach is so flat but the rain was driving over it
The sea is full of sand so looks really silted ithats thats even a word!?that’s even a wor
All sandy, wet but of all knackered!!

And of course…. the rain stopped!!!!!

Back up to the campsite for lunch and had fish fajitas while the dogs conked out! Just how we like them… not a peep!

Socially distanced snoozing!

Then we all went into the tent to watch a movie as it was a bit overcast and threatening rain. I may… just may have fallen asleep for a weeeee bit of it, like most of it!

All set up in case of rain. None yet though!

BBQ for dinner, huge steak for Craig and a veggie steak for me. I don’t know why I don’t fancy meat these days but looking forward to the veggie variety! The bbq is just heating up and it’s 7.50pm already. I don’t know where the day went though there is a chance I was sleeping for most of it.

It’s been a year and a half since we were away camping for any length of time and I’m not going to lie, it is messing with my head a bit. A place for everything and everything in its place is not possible with the scale that we are working with. I need to learn to chill and stop over stressing about muddy footprints everywhere and it being able to find things.

As Craig says camping like this shows us what we still need to improve on.

The best news ever though is that the wheelie bonus out back home thanks to Claire who is adulting enough today for both of us!!

I’m currently hiding behind the beige awning but it’s great to keep out of the wind!

Still not got around to sorting through the million pics from our overlanding day but I’ll get to it…. that holiday feeling… manyana… 😘😘
