Making a good start today, many of the pre-planned sites were visited, including the white marble church at Bodelwyddan.  This church is just by the main road and very visible, and to my regret never visited by me.  So we should savour Charlie’s description.

His reference to the deserted Kinmel Camp brings to mind the Riot there in March 1919, when Canadian soldiers returning from the trenches in France, and angry over delays in getting them repatriated to Canade, rioted and unfortunately five men died.  Who shot them is another story, but it led to the complete closure of the camp.   When Charlie passed by in 1923 the events would be fresh in their minds.
