It didn't take long to take the tent down and get it packed away in its bag and after checking the ground for any stray pegs I was ready for off, but before I left there was one thing I wanted to do. Several times in conversation with different people at home I've been asked why I always stay at that particular site, so as it was such a beautifully clear and sunny day I decided to take a few minutes to photograph the view I saw the very first time I camped there fourteen years previously - the view which started my love affair with Anglesey.
Now maybe many people wouldn't think there was anything special about that view but to me as a first time camper it had the 'wow' factor, and as many times as I've camped there since I never tire of seeing it. There are many different views from that site, in fact there was a good one looking over the hedge a few yards from where I had just been pitched, but that very first view will forever remain my favourite.
Those were to be my last shots of the weekend, and returning to the van I stashed the camera away in my bag and finally drove away from the corner which had played home to my tent for the last few weeks. As always I drove down to the promenade and took the dogs for a final walk along the beach, then with them settled safely on their beds in the back of the van I set off for home. With the radio to sing along to it was a very pleasant drive back in the sunshine and I arrived home with a few minutes to spare before I had to go to work. My next trip would be the California one but going off recent weeks there was every possibility that I would make yet another visit to Anglesey before the end of the season.
