Most campsite owners will tell you that Easter is usually the first weekend in the year when motor caravanners come out en masse. But with Easter Sunday falling in March this year, when it was still a tad chilly, I opted out of making an excursion then.
However, the first bank holiday weekend in May seemed much more promising, so I grabbed the keys of the Bailey Adamo 75-4I we have on longterm loan and headed for the hills of North Wales.
The Adamo range was the first Bailey line-up to be built on a Ford Transit and I was especially glad about that as I slogged up the motorways. Even now, I feel the Transit has a more car-like seating position for the driver than a Ducato, so it was more comfortable on those long rides.
My first destination was Gwynus Caravan and Camping Park (parcgwynus.com), near the little village of Nefyn on the Llŷn Peninsula – tucked away down a broom-lined hillside track off what is already a narrow and twisty (if busy) B-road.
It was worth the drive: from here, there are wonderful views of the sea in both directions. You really get a feeling of being on a peninsula.
