Commentary

(Summary blog only.   Last full blog was Day 0368).

Took the ferry from Dublin Port to Holyhead then drove over to Chester for a brief cup of tea with one set of friends then three night stay with another set.

Very stormy overnight so ferry was 90 minutes late departing Dublin.   Worst of the weather had abated by then but still 2 metre waves and severe gale force 9 winds.   Boat was quite comfortable despite the battering weather.

Slow journey on the A55 across north Wales – roadworks and accidents led to long traffic jams
