Campsite

Over the Easter weekend the weather gods decided that Caerfai should get some lovely sun and calm seas to allow for some decent rowing in the bay.  We row weekly most of the year, weather permitting, but usually out from Porthgain harbour (7 miles up the coast) or Goodwick (dodging the Fishguard/Rosslare ferry). The ‘we’ is Porthgain rowing club and we row in wooden 32 ft, 6 oared Cornish pilot gig boats.

My eldest sister was...

Sometimes we get sent photos taken by people who have stayed at Caerfai.  This fabulous shot was taken by Rod Cook a couple of weeks back. I thought i’d pop it on here and share it with everyone.  Thanks Rod. 

Our new yurts are up and furnished, here is a short film of the yurts being assembled and the finished article!
