I <3 Wales!

Lately I have felt that things have been building up on my mind and when I got home friday I decided that I needed a break. A couple of weeks ago I went swimming at one of my friends indoor pools and one of the girls there was welsh and I absolutely loved the accent. I decided pretty much then that I wanted to goto Wales at some point!

So I got home at about 6pm friday and started looking around online for things to do in Wales. I found a lot of sites that suggest activity breaks in Wales and decided that I’d do something like kayaking or quad biking or just something a bit exciting! I started calling several different places but most either didn’t answer the phone(out of hours) or couldn’t help me at such short notice until finally I got through to a guy in north wales who runs an activity place and said he had some people doing some activities on the Saturday and that I could join in with them if I wanted and stay at the place on a B&B scenario.

So I went and got a sat nav unit from someone I work with and left Essex at about 8pm. I arrived in North Wales at about half past midnight which is pretty quick. I drove into St Asaph and asked a couple of local lads for direction, unfortunately they didn’t know the way but I couldn’t help but smile when they started speaking welsh to each other lol. I ended up talking to a couple of girls who had been in the pub and we drove around a bit looking at stuff like ‘tha vallaaay’ lol. In the end they showed me where the place was and I took them home and then arrived at the adventure place at about 2am.

Where I was staying was a big mansion type place which was so large that I kept getting lost walking around it! On Saturday I did some quad biking, mountain biking, archery and in the night I went up into the caves with one of the guys(staff) I made friends with.

Wales is an amazing place! The water and air are just superb and the people are amazingly friendly. I will definitely be going back but for a longer time, maybe a week.

I dropped a couple of people off in Birmingham on my way home which unfortunately added a couple of hours to my journey, taking about 6-7 hours to drive from north Wales to Essex.

I’d highly recommend that if you have never been to Wales before you should go!
