In case you are wondering, this is pronounced 'Lake Vern-ree', or at least that's close enough to avoid being laughed at by the locals.The Welsh don't go in for easy-to-pronounce names, a fact comically illustrated by the spectacle of Mrs M trying to read out the names of villages as she navigated from the road atlas during the journey.
For anyone looking for a superb weekend holiday destination in Wales, they could do a lot worse than this. There are links in the main article.
The highlights of the weekend were:
- A gonad achingly cold wild swim, lasting all of 30 seconds.
- Some primal/paleo meals, interspersed with a fast - not easy when Mrs M is making liberal use of room service under your nose.
- A long, slow run (or persistent hunt) around the lake, starting pre-dawn and covering forest, hills and road.
