Well, after not visiting last year, it was back to probably our favourite campsite. Was always going to be a tough one, our first visit without our beloved Bailey but he loved it there so much we had so many memories to relive during our holiday.
We arrived at the end of Whit week so the site was still pretty full, after a wander round we ended up back on the first pitch we ever camped on at FfF 9 years ago.

This was our first trip with our recently bought new air tent, Kampa Kielder Air Pro 5 and we were really pleased with it.

Come Sunday, things went very quiet with only a handful of tents and some caravans and motorhomes left, with the exception of one of two small tents, it stayed pretty much like this until Friday. Believe me, for someone who spends all their working hours in a primary school, this was absolute bliss for me!

For obvious reasons the lake was an emotional place to visit that first time, and to my amazement the first time I went down there there was a tennis ball floating on the lake, last week when we arrived on our pitch at Spring Valley there was a tennis ball on our pitch, think Bailey is just letting us know he's still with us!
I could post a hundred pics of this beautiful lake, but I'll restrain myself to a couple!

This photo is tinged with sadness, the previous day 6 beautiful cygnets hatched, I was lucky enough to video them all with mum on her nest. Sadly the next day, all 6 had gone, probably the victims of predators. Nature is very cruel.

We paid our usual visits to Hay-on-Wye and Ludlow, both beautiful places, unfortunately the rain followed us on both occasions!

Had a couple of lovely meals out at the Llanerch in Llandrindod and The Eagle in Rhayader, this was the latter.

As well as some onsite delights prepared by the hubster!

And I'll end with this one, I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear or two during our visit, especially sat alone by the lake. No matter how many years pass I will always think of Bailey and that lake, he loved it in there and diving off the jetty, such special memories.
