Aberystwyth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beautiful university town of Aberystwyth (where Merlin\u2019s book of spells is kept), but not available for viewing, lest one learn the lost art) where we drank, dined, strolled along the coast around\u00a0the castle ruins, and then around the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Corris YHA was our resting place for two nights. No double mixed accommodation we were sent to our separate rooms. After numerous beers and a lock-in that continued into the wee hours, we played\u00a0some cards and retired. Corris is within the Snowdonia National Park and was an old slate mining town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
