Bouncing Below Beaumaris

Bouncing Below

Beaumaris is (as might be expected from the name) a beautiful wee town by the sea (or more accurately the Menai Strait I suppose). We popped in for a nice cup of something in the - miraculously consistent and unseasonable - sunshine, then for a wander round the castle.

Later on, we drove to Blaenau Ffestiniog (cool name) for Bounce Below, a strange but oddly exhilarating series of suspended bouncy nets in a disused mine. It's more fun than it sounds, although Louis did take a while to warm up to the idea of being suspended metres above a rocky floor in a cavern several hundred metres underground. Odd, that.

To everyone's relief, you're not allowed to take pictures in the caverns themselves...
