Shell Island Hippy Camping Weekend


A gang of us went camping on Shell Island for the bank holiday weekend. We were lucky with the weather - sunshine all round - and we had a great time, sitting around drinking, eating BBQ, singing and playing guitars into the night, camping round the fire. The kids played together and really enjoyed their freedom. The beach was windy but very pleasant on Saturday, and we all caught the sun. Good times.



We went shell collecting on Sunday evening and found some lovely and relatively unusual shells. I'm pretty used to what can be found along the coast of Wales a bit lower down - from Aberystwyth, Borth and Aberdovey, down to Aberaeron, but Shell Island is famous for shells after all, and there were loads of turret shells, small cowries and other finds that put a smile on my face.
