Penrallt Coastal Camping Trip 2023
We visited Penrallt for our annual camping trip. Highlights included Daphne (Adam’s labradoodle) eating Katy’s bacon sandwich, paddleboarding at Porth Iago, our new Canvas bell tent and Freya (Jo’s daughter) on her first camping trip. We were delighted to be sponsored by Regatta who provided T-shirts, fleeces and raincoats (even though we didn’t need them as the weather was fantastic).

Lab Camping Trip 2022
We returned to the incredible Penrallt Coastal Campsite in July for our annual lab camping trip. The star of the show was Ben (Jo’s son) who ruled the campsite with a rod of steel. Daphne (Adam’s labradoodle) also attended and had a great time. Beach olympics at Porth Iago (below) were won by Jade Taylor.
