Easter 2014 and our first 2 stop break.

Our commitment to look after 2 of our Grandchildren made it difficult to get away for the full week over Easter so we decided to spend 4 nights at Dan yr Ogof and 4 Nights at Woodstock CL in Cold Inn near Tenby. We were then able to have our our Granddaughters for the day on Wednesday whilst we packed up then dropped them off to their Daddy on the way to Tenby.

Stop 1

The first 4 days at Dan yr Ogof revolved around a walk to try and find the wellington Bomber crash site. We arrived at the site on Saturday evening and were all set up by 6.30pm. Easter Sunday was showery so we took it easy and had a nice lunch and a quiet day. The weather was just right on Easter Monday so we packed up our ruck sacks and set off up the mountain. It was a long climb up and we made an error on our bearings and went about a mile in the wrong direction. By the time we were back on track and heading in the vicinity of the wreck we were hungry and Barney was showing signs that he'd had enough so we stopped for lunch.

Just after lunch we were lucky enough to meet up with another walker who new exactly where the Bomber wreck was. It was another 20 minute walk to get there ..which doesn't sound much, but over really rough ground it was a walk too far so decided to turn back and try again another day. I think Steve and I were still fresh enough to have gone on but we were concerned not to over work Barney who is still recovering from his health problems.

The walk was worth it for the views alone.

Tuesday 22nd April was my Birthday so we were visited by my Daughter and grandaughters. I made lunch and then we chilled for the rest of the day.

Wednesday we were up early to fetch the Grandchildren and do a bit of shopping to take on the second half of our break. We were lucky that the weather forecast was wrong and the forecasted rain didn't materialise so it was dry to pack up the awning .. the girls were able to play outside and it made packing up a whole lot easier than we'd expected.

Stop 2.

By 6 o'clock on Wednesday we had arrived in Cold Inn near Tenby at Woodstock CL. What a gem of a site!!! Beautifully landscaped to provide each of the hard standing pitches with a little privacy. The site also has a small ammenity block which has 2 rooms ..one with a toilet and hand basin and one with a toilet,hand basin and a shower .. all as immaculately kept as the rest of the site. The site is only 5 miles from Tenby but was in a wonderfully peaceful location.

It was a pleasure doing the washing up with this little garden to look at.

A lovely place to sit in the middle of the site

Our pitch.

We had 2 trips out, the first to Lawrenny Quayside for lunch. The restaurant serves the most wonderful sea food and has lots of outside seating so great for dog owners. This is the second time we have visited and both times we have shared our table with a little robin.

It was our wedding anniversary on the Friday so we went into Tenby for lunch at The Buccanneer. As we walked through Tenby we met another Miniature Schnauzer .. his name was Barney too.

More lovely seafood at The Buccanner

We had the best week and ended it by taking down our Mistral Ripstop awning for the last time .. the reason? I'll save that for my next post.
