The Lleyn.

Monday looks a bit better...

smugmumofboys · 26/05/2011 19:11

Off to the Llyn on Sunday.

I bought a new cossie and everything for a sun-kissed day on Whistling Sands. It can't rain.

Slubberdegullion · 26/05/2011 19:17

oooh smug, I will be on whistling sands also.

I am the Elle Macpherson looky likey in a shorty wetsuit sporting that VERY most attractive of looks: wet suited thigh - Parisian moonlight white lower legs - and then wetsuit bootee at the bottom.

Oh yeah

FlubbaBubba · 26/05/2011 19:18

You may still get to use the cossie smugmum :o (swimming from your tent to the car!) :o

smugmumofboys · 26/05/2011 19:23

Nooooooo!

I'll be working the beached-whale-in-Boden look huddled under blankets in my newly-purchased Coleman beach shelter.

Slubberdegullion · 26/05/2011 19:27

I will run athletically past you in your Coleman shelter, laughing in my wetsuit.
I might even Arab spring with the joy of being back under the North Wales sunshine.

harrygraciepie · 26/05/2011 19:27

Oh the joys I simply cannot wait for the drive there judging by hubbys bag on at the moment trying to fit the bike rack to the back of the car, he reckons it wont go an estate car ha ha! needed my help but i just been told to get back inside and take the kids who were say pressing the hazzards and playin d.j with the radio knob, thats what he is

harrygraciepie · 26/05/2011 19:33

NormanTebbit · 26/05/2011 19:58

Hello we are off to (gulp) Mull of Kintyre. I am taking all the duvets we own, full wet weather gear and I haven't bothered with any swim gear as it's going to be baltic^

Friend suggest we take a spade so we can dig a trench round the tent if the torrential rain gets too much.

MisSalLaneous · 26/05/2011 20:01

For exactly this kind of situation I would love a woodburner.

Good luck to you all!

harrygraciepie · 26/05/2011 20:01

Only us Brits eh! are you taking any small children Norm?

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 26/05/2011 20:05

We're off to the Gower. I can't seem to find 2 weather forecasts that agree so for now I'm chosing to believe the BBC as there's seems best

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 26/05/2011 20:06

theirs

NormanTebbit · 26/05/2011 20:06

Yes - three aged 6,4 and 2. We are with two other families ^all with children of a similar age.

There is a cafe. A games room. A drying room. And I have a bottle of brandy.
