Another Bank Holiday over with........

Barmouth has been as busy as ever this week, last week end being a bank holiday and the children being on school holidays the town has been heaving and for once the sun has been shinning!... Hip hip horray! ...I feel its such a shame when people save up to come on holiday and all it does is rain,theres not much to do here in Barmouth if it does, no cinemas or bowling alleys, just the mountains & the sea,I suppose we have the arcade but who in their right mind would want to spend all day in there!

Well the next big event is the Three Peaks Yacht Race
- Barmouth to Fort William.

This year 24 teams sail from Barmouth to Fort William, once they reach Caernarfon the 2 athletes on board then have to run up the highest peak in wales ,Snowdon (peak 1)

They then run back down and set sail for Whitehaven towards Scaffel pike (peak 2 ).Here the athletes have a 13 mile bike ride at the begining & end of the route to Scaffel Point...OMG!

Then...its not over yet!...they set sail (yet again) for Ben Nevis (peak 3) this is the biggest of them all and the last!!...It also happpens to be the only one I have been up!...Yes I live in Barmouth and have never been up Snowdon!!!...I promise I will, it has been on the agenda for a while now!..I won't however be competing in the three peaks yacht race in the foreseeable future!!....Good luck to everyone..!!!

The Three Peaks Yacht Race has been going since June 1977 and the beautiful Yachts that it brings in to town is wonderful,most of the teams raise money for different charities and the town becomes alive with people from not just Britain but all over the world!
It starts on Saturday 19th June at 4pm from Barmouth harbour...If you want to follow it heres the address http://www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.uk/.

Well until next time have fun & enjoy June
