Today I drove to Wales just so I could add that to the list of countries I’ve been to this year. I also stopped off at Ironbridge to take some photos, one of which you can see just here. Unfortunately the weather was too poor to take many photos, so apart from that stop, the trip mainly consisted of driving to Dolgellau, turning round and coming back again. On the way there I was enjoying driving my Golf, and averaged about thirty miles per gallon. On the way back to was trying to be as economical as possible and averaged about fifty. It was pretty boring driving that way, and a nice compromise between the two styles would probably be best. Not that I was driving particularly fast on the way there anyway, as it was too wet, and I tend to stick to the speed limits most of the time anyway, and I like staying alive.
