Edinburgh to North Wales: Day 1 – Journey to Soar

After packing our belongings into E’s car, at 10:30 am we headed south towards Carlisle and our eventual destination, Soar, near the village of Talsarnau, in North Wales. It was the warmest day of the year so far in the UK, with temperatures in the mid 20s throughout the journey. E did a great job of the driving, safely covering over 500 kms including the heavily congested M6 as we passed by Manchester and Liverpool. On the journey we stopped for a break and a bite to eat at a couple of large motorway service centres and eventually rolled into Capel Fawnog Cottage around 7:30 p.m. The sun was still shining and the cottage and surrounding gardens were looking wonderful.
