Don't know how this will look - had to reduce the size dramatically (isn't 192k a bit mean in this day and age?). It's North Berwick, a few minutes walk from the Yellowcraig Caravan Club site.

Thank you for the days, the days you gave me.

Hmm, seeing it's only 92K I'm surprised at how large it is 'on screen'

This is the view from the B4519 near Garth heading towards Upper Chapel,
It is in the MOD firing range area but usually open to all traffic, but stopping is only allowed at a few designated locations, it's within the Mynydd Epynt area,

Thank you so much for sharing that. Love it there. It was one of our favourite sites, but sadly Veronica's increasing disability made us sell the camper-van four years ago. It was a sadly defining moment for her - and me

Barmouth Bridge, nice but fairly long walk from Morfa Mawddach Station to Barmouth (well it is to me)
Looking towards the station, and (2) towards Barmouth

This is Llynnau Cregennen near Arthog, the 2nd photo is taken from nearby looking over towards Barmouth.

I can imagine, the reality of the situation at that point must have hit you both like a 40 tonne truck.

Yes, it truly did. Every time we saw a motorhome on the road it reinforced what we had lost. 'Wonder where they're going?' we would ask each other.

Some lovely places you have all been to. This is one of my favourite locations. It's the Ring of Brodgar over on Orkney, I always visit if we pop over the water for any reason.
