Welcome to Wales

As soon as we left Cumbria the weather changed. Morecambe Bay had the last of the uninterrupted cloud; as we came further south through Warrington the cloud broke. Back west into Wales and the good skies remained leaving us with unobscured views of mountains like those we had last seen in the Scottish Highlands. Fingers crossed that we get good views of Snowdon.

Our last two trains through Wales were the busiest and noisiest we've had on the whole journey but the seats were spacious and well ventilated so the journey was pleasant enough. The whole journey from Ravenglass to Bangor involved four trains. This avoided any individual journey being too long which was better for Katarina.
