We were booked into Bwych Yn Uchaf camping and caravanning site at Bala for the easter break on a hardstanding pitch. But were contacted by the site owner 2 days before to say that the site was too wet and would stay closed over the easter break. We were so dissapointed. and vainly tried to book us and our friends onto another site with no luck. just wondered how many others had their easter break ruined by the bad weather. Although last year we stayed on other sites with 2 to 3 inches of water lapping around the awning with no problems and even barbequed in snow before now. To get out this weekend we drove us and friends to elan valley rhayader mid wales the water overflowing the reservoirs was fantastic and the scenery breathtaking. we also went to see the red kite feeding at Nant yr Arian forest visitor centre. would recommend this to anyone. and its free, just £1.50 to park. On the way home we diverted to the Royal Hill pub between melverley and pentre for an evening meal which was absolutely delicious and well worth a visit. they also have a very nice camping and caravan site on the side of the river severn.

We had booked hardstandings for the Easter break as we thought this would be the best option.  We did not expect to have the booking for these cancelled. 

On our travels over the weekend we  noticed a number of caravan sites with caravans and tents on grass pitches, seeing these made us very envious.

We have now made a booking for next weekend (at another site) in order to compensate.
