Tuesday 27th June
A dull morning, with very low cloud, so Harry suggested a visit to Porthdinllaen for coffee.
The car park at the entrance to the golf club is manned by a white-haired fellow with a wide grin as he takes your £5. You can park here all day for a river, says he, enjoy your walk!
Along we went across the golf course, then down into the village, a place which allows only local cars.
The weather was not good, though it was warm, and not raining. Slightly disgruntled, we went into the pub Ty Cogh for a weak coffee and over-sweet packaged cakes - overpriced and underwhelming. We should have asked for an extra shot of coffee! The staff were good and the pub was attractive.

We walked out of the village along a narrow path with a drop on the right hand side past the lifeboat station.
and emerged on the headland where we noticed cormorants and oyster-catchers on the rocks. Then a woman with her dog asked if we had seen the seals - and lent us her binoculars for a better look.

Lots of them, resting banana-shaped on the off-shore rocks. They were very vocal as well - no wonder there are folk tales about them.
She has seen porpoises on the south side of Llyn as well.
Pink oxalis/ wood-sorrel was growing by the path.
We saw swallows over the fields, and when we returned ‘home’ for lunch there was a wren at the cottage.
