Monday 29th July<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I awoke at 7.30 and left the campsite by 10.15. I set the GPS to Bala, arrived there and rode through the quite pretty High Street, took a left past the lake and rode a lovely shady road around the far side of the lake, back into Bala in an elongated circle. I found a cafe there and ordered Eggs Benedict and a tea. I sat outside to eat. When the eggs came they were swimming in mayonnaise which looked disgusting but I managed to avoid most of it. (I have just looked up the recipe and mayonnaise is a standard ingredient.) Then I took one more lap and parked briefly at a spot behind the lake where some people were sitting around it on the ground. It reminded me of Ruislip Lido in the 1970s but this place had its own little narrow gauge railway station. The weather was getting warm. Then I pursued a mixture of small and major roads towards this site, Offa\u2019s Dyke Farm Campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
