Llyn Peninsula 2021 Vlog 23 Plas yn Rhiw, Aberdaron

We leave Porth Neigwl and head back to Pwllheli for some supplies. We spot the Urban Eats van in the car park and can’t resist a breakfast before stocking up with food at Lidl.
Then it’s back along the Llyn Peninsula to visit Plas yn Rhiw, a National Trust property.
We eat our evening meal at Aberdaron but are unsure whether to stay the night.

I really like these travel vlogs where people behave and do the things they like, rather than what others will like. The soft gentle delivery is also a winner for me.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy the videos 🙂

[@clairereid6974]

The day to day stuff at the beginning of this vlog...why is it that we’re all so fascinated by other folk’ ordinary rituals?! Love it!! Thanks again for such great content, you guys are such a great team! ❤️🐚

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Claire 🙏

Lovely to see Carol growing in confidence with filming and doing some narration in this episode.

[@carwynhughes4623]

Completely agree. Been watching since the start of the wales trip and seeing Carol’s confidence grow is really nice too see. Lovely couple keep up the brilliant work

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you for your encouragement, very kind 🙏

[@tomflaherty1055]

Thank you Ken for including your hunt for the pringles potato chips. That was too cute. It put a smile on my face and gave me a flash back of my dad.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Tom 😁

[@DLBass-op2ib]

Love the pictures from the drone. They are amazing.

[@kgarnett5292]

Great filming including drone, & editing. Reminds me of our times in our split window VW kombi in the 70's, never using camp sites. The Aberdaron car park is of course National Trust, free to members otherwise £9 for full day, & doesn't allow overnight camping. I know it well and you'd probably get away with it in the small far overflow area where you were if discreet, and there are ablutions on the left by the entrance.

[@kgarnett5292]

Another tip - there are unmarked but totally legitimate public conveniences in Aberdaron at the Gwesty Ty Newydd pub/hotel without having to enter (a deal they struck with the council in exchange for permission for the rear balcony terrace) - door is at the side off the slipway and it's immediately on right.

[@jamesa3597]

So are we saying that's a second 'infinity pool' discovered? Woo hoo 😉 - just kidding They actually look like some form of hydro-break to slow the run off of water? Enjoying the vlog as we're just about to get a campervan ourselves (deposit paid) and can't wait. Really useful hints and tips from you both 👍 Thank you 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

There is what looks like a blue pump next to it so I assume the pool is to hold enough water back for the pump to work.

[@mickstupp6300]

I agree. If you like something someone has done or cooked, let them know, face to face. You could see how happy the burger man was. I do the same, makes everyone's day a little happier!!

Good selection of fat pills (doughnuts). Love the stonework on the older structures. Looks like you got a nice sunny day. As usual great drone shots. You should contract to the tourist agencies. Great tour of the estate. Loved the narrator. Stay safe. Have fun.

The episode Jane was looking forward so you made her evening. As a child she used to visit Uncle Franks cottage the larger white one as you come in opposite the church. Drone shot showed it well. He has long gone but they used to be there listening to the waves at night. Loved the video and well done Carol on the narration loved the gardens we have been debating as to if we join the national trust. Loved Ken you getting caught out crisp hunting. As ever a lovely pace we both commented ours are manic lol

Thanks Stew. Glad Jane enjoyed what we showed of Aberdaron. What a lovely place, she must have some great memories 😀

[@arfonw123]

The so called "infinity pool" is the one that everybody goes too and raves about in Llanberis pass. It was created by the local farmer for some reason (Can't remember why) and has been in the local news paper about the amount of people that visit it. I spotted this too in your vlog, but didn't comment. There's a few youtube videos about it.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We have seen a couple of KZbin videos of people finding the secret infinity pool. It wasn’t hidden very well as we accidentally flew over it with the drone 😁

Great episode, lovely piece from Carol, if it ever goes wrong you can always leave it on the cutting room floor! Like Ken I loved riding big touring bikes, got my IAM badge, not interested these bays, too much baggage (3 children) and too many nutters on the road. It only takes one, some of the riding skills I see these days leave a lot to be desired. Now where did I leave those Pringles? 😂

[@nigeldavey1043]

Plas in Rhiw used to be described by the NT as a Tudor farmhouse and give an explanation of why Tudor buildings are not Timber framed as in the Southern Counties of England. Of course as in any era buildings are constructed using the materials most readily available in the area. The disabled parking used to be through those two great big rugged " gateposts " and my LWB Transit only fitted through with the wing mirrors retracted. I was fairly used to that, if you get up around Bisley and France Lynch on the Cotswold edge there are a good few places on the roads where you can scrape your mirror housings if you are not paying attention. Very nice to see and hear Carol's contribution in this one, very professional I think. You'll be done out of a job if you're not careful Ken. 🤔😁. The buns looked good too.

I'm just wondering, Do you carry a spare Drone with you? love the vids ty

[@LifeistooshortCK]

No spare. If I lost it I would have to get another one. I do have another drone but no space to carry it as a spare. 👍

[@bedclintred]

What was the bike you had Ken, or have you had more than one? 👍😎🌞😍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I have had a few over the years from a BMW RS1000 to a Yamaha RD250 which I think was my absolute favourite although a Honda CB175 was also a really nice bike.

Hello Ken &Carol, We really like your vlogs and have found them very helpful, your tips and tricks are also very informative and give an insight to van life. What drone are you using for your aerial shots? We ordered a camper from AutoCampers a couple of months ago and can’t wait to hit the road. Who knows we may even pass one another on the road. Thanks again Sarah

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Sarah. My drone is a DJI Mavic Mini 2. Bet you can’t wait to get your camper, I know how we felt waiting for ours. Make sure to say hello if you see us out and about. Safe travels 😀

Hi guys, we stated watching. We're from North East Victoria Australia. Have you got borrow box app in UK. From a library card you can get audiobooks for loan for free. We are about to travel Australia. Lots of free camping here.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Will have a look for the borrow box App, thanks for the recommendation. Have a great trip. Sounds like Australia is very welcoming to campervans with free campsites 😀

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Australia us better to higher a 4x4 landcruiser troopy. Have a look at 4xoverland, sparkys on the loose and trip in a van. For New Zealand is higher a camper van. You can do both Islands.. I love Si Finds, and the northern mudlarkers. On your side, ghost town living, sailing la vagabonds, think about coming over here, long roads, no one around, but helps around and great experience. The aboriginal are great. You will love it. Russell

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

My tip for tyres, get a battery opperated air compressor, check sparkys on the loose video he did a repair, an lndiflate dual tyre gauge deflater and a tyre repair kit. Just let the drive wheels to 15 psi and you go most places. Do not worry if you get stuck you will get out. People will help. Ps. Love the video's. Very gentle. Russell
