Leevi & Sarahs Travel Blog

Ok so here it is, the long awaited conclusion to our second adventure in Corwen, North Wales.We had big plans for the next day, quick trip to the farmers market to get some organic goods followed by a drive through Snowdonia National part and finally a hike up to the top of Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls.Waking up with a massive hangover I was a little shaky to start. In fact I actually organised for Helen and Mel to drive back to Solihull. After sacrificing my breakfast to get a couple more minutes over the toilet bowl Helen helped me strengthen my resolve.We packed up our bags left good old Owain Glyndwr Hotel ready to face the hike up to the Iron Age fort. Full of 1000mg of Paracetamol I lead the way to the top of Caer Drewyn however the rains and wind whipped through the valley and caught us off guard. We all made it far enough up the hill to experience the excellent views of Corwen.Squeezing back into the car we started the second leg of our journey to the falls via the farmers market. Once at the farmers market I regained my full appetite and polished off a bacon, egg, cheese bap in record time. Mel tried to finish her second breakfast but it seemed that the night before was finally catching up.A couple of jars of organinc chutney later with some roast veg chips to enjoy in the car we continued onto our goal Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls. Shortly into the trip through Snowdonia National Park Sarah was struck with a massive headache and Mel sobered up, hangover ensuing. We had a quick stop to enjoy the freezing cold view of the Snowdonia Mountains.Back on the road again we eventually made it to a little village at the base of Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls. With Sarah feeling very sick and Mel asleep in the car we bypassed our goal and continued home.We eventually made it back to Solihull to a welcoming shower and warm bed for a well deserved rest.Enjoy the pics!Leevi enjoying the heated seats in the MondeoLeevi and Sarah on the Iron Bridge @ TelfordThe Iron Bridge @ TelfordLeevi, Sarah, Helen and Julie @ TelfordSarah, Helen & JulieSarah & Leevi infront of the Iron BridgeThe Iron BridgeA rainbow on the way to Corwen which was about 5 metres awayMels mouth frozen openSarah enjoying a slight breeze in Snowdonia National ParkSarah stealing Leevis body warmthSarah freezing in the middle of Snowdonia National ParkSarah & Leevi standing on top of the Snowdonia National Park signJulie, Helen & Sarah standing on top of the Snowdonia National Park signSarah in a valley in Snowdonia National ParkLeevi in a village in Snowdonia National ParkLeevi, Helen, Julie and Mel freezing in Snowdonia National ParkFiona, Helen, Leevi, Brenda, Julie, Mel & Eryl @ The Eagle in CorwenButch & Mel @ The EagleSarah & Butch @ The EagleBrenda, Butch and the freaky guy who owned Butch @ The EagleMel drinking some good old H20 @ The HarpJim scared by Sarah @ The HarpLeevi, Julie and Mel @ The HarpSarah & Leevi @ The HarpLeevi, Julie, Helen, Fiona, Eryl, Leevi & Mel @ The OakIan The Barman, Sarah and Mel @ The OakSarah feeling sleepyAsleepSoooo SeedyOwain Glyndwr HotelOn the way up to Caer DrewynFreezing my *** off on a ridge in Snowdonia National Park
