This year's annual Commodore's day out was a trip to Caernarfon and took place on Saturday, 14th May. The weather was bright and sunny as the photograph above testifies but there was a strong onshore breeze which made it feel much colder than it actually was.

The coach left the Cruising Club at 7:45am and headed towards the Welsh Highland Railway at Rhyd Ddu where, at noon, we boarded the steam train  that was eventually to take us to Caernarfon. The track clings to the Welsh hillsides and provides spectacular views of the surrounding countryside for the 75 minute journey.

The remainder of the day was spent in Caernarfon where members explored the town on their own or in small groups taking in the breathtaking scenery and the invigorating sea air and the occasional local hostelry. We returned to the coach at 5:00pm to make the journey back to the Clubhouse via Betws-y-Coed and Llangollen.
