Just a few words about Glyn Y Mul farm and those words are Bloomin' Excellent !!
The Pikey and I had a few spare days recently so we mosey'd on down to Glyn Y Mul and were met by Ian the camp owner who was a top bloke, if he was any more chilled out he'd be a polar bear. He gave us the lowdown on the camp rules and where you can camp which is either on the main site (mown lawns, leccy hookups and your fire in half a beer keg etc) or a quick jaunt over the railway (4 mins walk) into 18 acres of broadleaved woodland with the river at the bottom. Here we stayed for 3 nights and met a great couple called Mike & Jo. there are plenty of firepits and trees to put your hammock,tarp or tent and if you fancy a power shower, flushing loo or to use the toaster or microwave a 4 minute walk has you back in civilisation. The site also has a sort of shop with basic essentials like bottled water etc. This is an honesty box system. Take what you need and put your money in the box. We never actually got to give Ian our camp fees as it was always "pay me later lads" so when we left one of the caravanners took the fees for him. (apparently he always does it ). So if you'd like a chilled camp that can be both civilised and Back to basics this is the place. If you want a nightclub, beer garden pool tables and video games, this isn't the place for you. Just pure outdoor fun !! Will we be going back?? HELL YEAH !!
Pictures they say are worth a thousand words, so here are a few we took.
Woody stuff
Bivvy Up
The railway
More of the woods
Frodo the Bushcraft Doggy loved it too
The River
And finally waiting for a nightcap.....
