I’m off to visit some famous walls tomorrow*, and not Chester either, but I reckon Conwy has the best of the wall walks. And I somehow persuaded Mrs RM to walk them, with the promise it was the quickest way back to the campervan. Just shy of the walls, we note a weird row of… Continue reading LOSING MRS RM ON THE CONWY RAMPARTS

CONWY – RISING PRICES, SMALL HOUSES, “MAGIC”, GUTO KEBAB
You left Mrs RM and myself in the Conwy Valley Hotel, a motel 5 miles south of town with ’80s discos and keg Lees MPA. You may be horrified to learn I resisted (both). While many travellers succumb to the on-site overpriced breakfast, it’s pretty much retiredmartin policy to NEVER eat at the hotel, and… Continue reading CONWY – RISING PRICES, SMALL HOUSES, “MAGIC”, GUTO KEBAB
CRAFT, COWBOYS AND A DASH FOR THE PUFT

Before I could say, “But Mrs RM, we have a mountain to climb tomorrow morning” she was in like a shot, staring round looking for craft, while I took photos of the floor. It’s… Continue reading TEACHING AMERICANS ABOUT BEER IN THE ALBION
TAKE IT TO THE BANC
More live blogging from North Wales, where Mrs RM has just conquered Snowdon. No Bass in the cafe at the top, so a wasted journey, but one less place to cross off the list of possible Bass venues. Mrs RM had been in training for the ascent for some hours, culminating in a four pints… Continue reading TAKE IT TO THE BANC
CONWY COINS IT
We’re staying wild in Conwy tonight in our campervan. The Americans we met tonight call it “Boondogging“, which sounds like a cross between something unmentionable and a Marston’s beer. What a gorgeous place this is, particularly when you’re not paying £80 a night to stay here. Down by the quayside, one pub was taking most… Continue reading CONWY COINS IT
