VanLife Up North S07E34 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Criccieth on the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales

Now I have the time to explore everywhere in Britain that I missed before, I have one more place to visit in the Lleyn Peninsula, namely Criccieth.
And what a gem of a seaside town it turned out to be, with free parking along the Promenade, a castle overlooking the town and a wonderful view of the west coast of Wales.

Another great location and a masterclass in creative editing. Liked the way the dive into the parking sign on the map dissolved into the next shot and how funky did that rat van look!

I'm glad you notice the little touches I put into my videos, Tom.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Just found your channel. We’re off to Criccieth next week, so doing a bit of research. 23 love this video. Loved your dry sense of humour throughout. Cheers 🍻

[@SocksWithSandals]

Welcome aboard. Criccieth is a hidden gem.

Beautiful place Criccieth. Spent time there on a Geological field holiday. The beach is a good place to witness Longshore Drift, amongst other things of interest. The Castle I recall was one of the few defensive structures originally built by the native Welsh. Great part of this United Kingdom 👍

[@SocksWithSandals]

I don't think the timelapse on my Android phone would capture longshore drift. But I'm glad they didn't put groynes into those beautiful beaches.

[@mystichare8924]

@@SocksWithSandals That’s why it’s such a remarkable beach.

[@southernwanderer7912]

The seaside scenery is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for bringing that to us.

[@SocksWithSandals]

It was a discovery for #MeToo. As I can't go anywhere else without a lethal injection I might as well enjoy my homeland.

A photograph can squeeze the last bit of twilight out of a scene when it's too dark for video.

If you are ever in Mid Wales call in to the Bug Out in Builth Wells.

Thank you for the invite.

Crickeith? Not crickyeth then! can't keep up 😅 Top dog, top resort, ditto production sox totally enjoyed a shortish stay at said resort. Wanted to stay overnight however all inns/b&bs were fully booked inc along the entire coast up until reaching Llandudno miles away! Still turned out ok tbh if not slightly busier.

Well that's the advantage of van life, Ed.

Is this the true way to pronounce criccieth?

Go there and ask a local. They'll say Kri-Key-ETH.

If you laid off the bakewell pies your finger wouldn't get stuck in ring pulls. You're welcome.

[@SocksWithSandals]

Those ring pulls were built for women because men shouldn't be preparing food.
