AUTUMN EQUINOX 2026

First day headed straight to the Royal Goat at Beddgelert at the bottom of Snowdon for 2 night stay. Second day had breakfast then headed for Tudweilog. Took about an hour. Found Post Office easily. Lady stamped our passports, said how full they were (in fact now full and complete!). Passports full so end of journey. Spent other time at Caernafon for Indian meal and Pwllheli to check Capel Salem. Also viewed Gelerts grave and looked for Dinas Emrys (King Arthur legend).
