As it’s our last day in Wales we get up early and head for the mountains. It’s already quite busy at the parking at 9, but we get a nice spot and unload all of our gear and go up. The weather is ideal, moody clouds hide the tops of the mountains and the sun, but it’s dry and not too cold. After only a couple of steps we already have to cross a stream with a small waterfall.
The heather is in full bloom and every way we look the ground is covered in a purple blanquet. After 20 minutes we reach the mountain lake Llyn Idwal. We stop for a short photo and play session and continue with the hike around the lake. Even bigger waterfalls stream down the mountain sides here to fill the lake.
As we stop to switch the children and get some aerial shot the children play in a mountain stream. Just as we want to go again, Zeno stumbles into the water and is soaked up onto his waist. We dry him off, take a coat for his legs and continue. Cleo keeps jumping from rock to rock and wants to become a mountain goat. We round the lake in two hours and head back down to the car.
We drive back to our holiday home to eat some lunch hit the beach one last time to build a canal and hole to see how the sea level rises this afternoon.
Tomorrow we head up north towards the Scotish border just north of the lake district.
