What a fab idea, some of the CU going to chill out in Abersoch (just next to Pwllheli) after exam stress and madness! Bound to be good sun, seaside and surf (not to mention actualshowers too!) WELL, off we start, and it all goes well until I mess up the map instructions and take a very short detour (although very scenic!) Getting to the campsite (which was surrounded by gorgeous mountain ranges!) V. beautiful :) and stick in a few chickens, and lambs (they were so cute!) but some of the chickens were roosters, which tended to crow at the crack of dawn (not so pretty!) We set up our tents, and then basically either 'slept' (really talked) or went down to visit the beach (10 min walk!)
Next morning, all up and ready by 10! we get to the beach by 10.30, GORGEOUS day, full of sun, so we put LOTS of sunscreen on, at regular intervals. In and out of the sea we were! Having a fab time, I fell asleep... oh yes! Wrong move! 1/2 an hour of pure sleepful bliss, turns into a murderous case of sunburn (on the back of my knees~probably one of the most sensitive parts to get burnt) and im talking burnt, noit just red, red raw, and puffy (they became odematus!) I was like what on earth is going on? I put suncream on... oh yes I did, but the sun is still evil! They are still really painful, and it takes me a while to sit down and stand up, they kill when I walk, and they get stiff if I am say sitting in a car for any length of time, so when I got back (although smothering them at regular intervals with anyone and everyone's after sun) I had a cold bath and yet more after sun, and yet they still kill :( bad, bad sun; silly silly maddy! Photos to come later!
