The Great Donut Debacle: A Llandudno Love Story

The salty tang of the sea mingled with the sweet aroma of Larry’s carefully procured treats as they strolled down Llandudno pier. Jessica, her eyes sparkling with delight, skipped a step ahead, her blonde hair catching the glint of the setting sun. Larry, a paper bag held protectively at chest level, puffed out his chest a little, revelling in the way his heart did a little jig whenever she…

If you had to go on holiday with each of your Van's where would you take each one?

This has been sitting in my inbox for ages and that holiday ask I had earlier prompted me to post it! I’m intending to write full headcanons for each of these but here’s my ideas so far. Let me know if you have any thoughts xxx

💗 Dad Van - Disneyland - getting more excited than the kids about meeting the characters, Mickey Mouse ears, rollercoasters and Disney magic, cuddling up to watch the fireworks

❤️ Red Van - Ibiza - sneaky Mediterranean hookups whilst the band are playing Ibiza Rocks, messy club nights, sun cream and skimpy bikinis, cocktails and pool parties

🖤 Prof Van - Italian Riviera - meandering around art galleries and museums, hot hotel room sex, sipping champagne by the pool, slinky evening dresses and dinner dates, getting fucked on the balcony

🧡 Prof Bond - South of France - idyllic little rustic farmhouse in the countryside, good food and wine, picnics and feeding each other strawberries, lazy afternoons by the river whilst he reads poetry to you

💖 I’m With the Band Van - Reading festival - not a holiday as such but a weekend away, up on Van’s shoulders to see your favourite bands, getting silly drunk and stoned together, sharing a sleeping bag as Van ‘conveniently’ forgot to pack his

💙 Ice Cold Van - Las Vegas - an assignment of Van’s to track down a high profile target but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of your surroundings, casino nights, tuxedos and designer gowns and glitz and glamour, fucking on the roulette table

❤️‍🔥 Devil Next Door Van - Llandudno - trip down memory lane, British seaside holiday vibes, fish and chips on the pier, fun at the arcades, paddling in the sea, maybe a visit to Mary and Bernie’s

🤍 Single Dad Van - Lapland - Santa visit with the kids, husky dog sled rides, cosying up drinking hot chocolate, magical moments viewing the Northern Lights together

💜 Pure Van - Paris by night - admiring the city landscape from the rooftops, being wined and dined in lavish restaurants, sultry club nights, watching the sunset together

🩶 Playing Hard to Get Van - summer camper-van road trip with all your friends - sunbathing and skinny dipping in the lake, ice cream and BBQs, getting sneakily fingered on the back seat in a sundress

The Llandudno Jaunt

Songs of San Francisco, 3x the magic charm; Scott Mackenzie serenades.

Sparkling in sunglass dimensions Walking along blue bay piers Packed with holiday travellers, Onlooking locals envy in disguise.

Birkenstock’ing higher, Catching Llandudno view points, Then hurdling down steep, Trying to catch rocky footing.

St John’s Wort Blooming in buttercup yellow, Dense brambles turning Fleshy soft berry melting in mouths.

Curving around the Parade, Gazing out at sapphire sea, Acquaintances in passing Appearing miniature-sized in sight.

Gusts of the morning propel Backsides into motion, Still hurdling forward.

Traipsing beige roams and lay-by seabirds, Remembering the morning greeting at the window — I take my four-mile-stride, Stretch it out to one mile bird’s eye.

Aching, blistering, bobbing on, I reach toward the final destination: Washington, my domed, antiquated beacon.

Posturing quite proudly in my stance, I check but twice for passing drive-by’s, The County welcoming me with its age of wear and tear. And so, I end my five-mile bend.

Is there anything you’d recommend in north Wales? I never really leave Scotland so I’ve no idea about it.

visit Llandudno, it's the tourism hub of north wales for a reason. there's the mines that offer tours, the alice in wonderland hunt, the trams and the cable cars, two different beaches, a pier with an arcade, an artificial ski slope, a lot of good shops, the great orme and little orme. if you've got your own transport i highly recommend visiting snowdonia national park and camping at the base of Snowdon in the summer.

conwy is also a lovely place, it's a seaside town built around its castle and has the uk's smallest house. i dont go there nearly half as much as I've been to Llandudno, mostly because its a pain to go on the buses. colwyn bay is a bit less pristine than the other two but the beach and prom are really nice and the shopping centre is decent with a market (dont expect much) every tuesday and Saturday. the beach in bae colwyn is sandy because a decade back they dredged it up from the ocean floor.

just whatever you do, do not go to rhyl. complete shithole. one of the uks lowest life expectancies. id cut off my own leg before foinf there willingly. I'm from the conwy county area (god forbid i doxx myself) so im biased towards it with tbe exception of rhyl. llanddulas doesn't have much to do in it (its an old people neighborhood, i lived there for 5 years and stayed inside the whole time), abergele has it's own beach + arcade area but you're better off going to Llandudno for a lot of things.

Llandudno Pier - 05/04/24

Day Seventy-two

Up early this morning, it's a long day ahead!

It's one of thise rare days where I have a specific destination in mind, so it's on to the supermarket in Queensferry to grab some handy provisions and get at it.

Starting off by jumping onto the busy A548, it's ploughing on through a few towns along the River Dee. It's a lot of slogging in busy traffic but not too many options for this stretch as the bike route proper follows this road, and the wind is starting to increase with the temperature.

At Baglit the cycle route heads up and over some big hills a little inland, so I say hell to that and keep cracking on at the road.

The road isn't exactly great fun, with lots of hedges and trees blocking the views, but finally we break through the foliage lining and emerge out to the coast at the Port of Mostyn.

Emerging from cover does mean the wind starts to become more noticeable, and a strong breeze is blustering down the coastline. But there is a great view back over the water to see the view of yesterday's ride.

Past Ffynnongoyw, there's a right turn and it's finally away from the traffic and on to some great riding around the cycle trails to Talacre Beach, before riding on through the dunes and across the golf course.

Hitting Prestatyn, we get some more nice promenade riding all the way down to Rhyl. Some stretches are alas under building work, so there's a little meandering involved to get around them whilst being slapped around by the wind.

Over the River Clwyd, there's more nice riding away from the traffic along the beaches, along with a good few more sections of construction work diversions. But the sun is shining and the view over to Colwyn Bay is very pretty.

Past the impressive sight of Gwyrch Castle on the hillside, I have a short stop to help someone out with a flat tyre. One thing I do enjoy with cycling is the camaraderie amongst riders and it's very common for others to check in that someone is ok or needs help if they're stationary.

Riding on, it's up some steeper sections up over the cliffsides, before yet more construction work sends me off on a diversion into Old Colwyn.

I've had enough with the promenade routes being constantly blocked off, so elect to say hell and stick back to the proper cycle route once more, which leads on through the busy Colwyn Bay and west alongside the expressway.

It's around some beautiful hills through this area before coming out at Llandudno Junction, and with the wind still battering around I take a break with a bit of shelter here. Today is some hard work!

Crossing over the River Conwy, I get to ride past the awesome Conwy Castle and have a lovely jaunt around the riverside whilst heading past Conwy, then it's back out to the sea as the path works its way past some impressive hills.

Past Penmaenmawr the cliffsides offer little space, and some interesting pathing is in place to sandwich a major dual carriageway, a rail line, and pedestrian & cycle access in all together, but somehow it's managed.

At Abergwyngregyn there's no other through road apart from the dual carriageway, so the route leads uo inti the foothills overhead, making for some lobg climbs and tiring work. It gives a nice view of Anglesey, but damn it's tough going.

Eventually it's downhill once more, crossing back over the expressway and zooming in to Bangor to check out their pier, and then riding up and around to the Menai Suspension Bridge.

Across the bridge and I'm on the island if Anglesey! Whilst I'm not riding around the entire island, I am making a stopoff at a place I've wanted to check out for maby years - Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch. With the evening wearing on, most other tourists are having dinner and I have no issues getting a photo done with the sign.

Not much further left today! Back to the bridge I ride, then it's a ride down the Menai Strait along to the historic castle town of Caernafon, with a nice ride past its beautiful castle.

A final push around the hills nearby and I eventually arrive at my destination for the day - the home of the wonderful Nerys! I have been given a lovely hot shower and a damn amazing steak, and have a few nights' R&R ahead to allow the back to heal up a bit more!

That's the entire damn north coast of Wales down in one day! I'm kinda shocked at myself, especially with the hideous headwind that has been causing so much extra effort, but I'll take it!

Have a good weekend!

ohhh hey i just saw your piers music headcanon post and i think it’s pretty solid!! i personally always imagined him as kind of 80s british indie/goth/post punk — sort of a blend of Joy Division, The Cure, Gang of Four — but ofc w a more modern + slightly heavier twist!! also i’m pretty sure the spikemuth accent in game is meant to be like an irl manchester accent, as manchester was (still is rlly) one of the main cities in the uk for underground music back in the 80s and 90s (Madchester lmao) and that’s kind of piers + team yell’s whole vibe haha

thought i’d throw my two cents in, i really liked the thought you put into your post + i def think you might be right on the early arctic monkeys stuff — can easily picture Piers singing crying lightning hehe

…… didn’t mean to go off on one or anything but i had to share my thoughts 😅😅

Honestly by all means go off! I literally went off on my own tangent so I love to hear it.

See I had deeply considered post-punk and like the vocals sit about right, but sometimes the energy and instrumentation/synth didn't sit right with me? It's definitely a matter of personal opinion, though! I think everyone has a bit of a different take, the rant was purely my own opinion. It's hilarious, cause I normally do skew post-punk in my day to day taste but for some reason my brain decided "this ain't it."

Re: Manchester. I personally fucking agree lol. The music scene there is honestly too hard to ignore. Galar is so nebulous and weirdly arranged that allegedly Spikemuth is equivalent to Llandudno in Wales though there's absolutely no real relationship there? It's absolutely weird. I'm also no expert on accents but I do agree that there is something about the manc accent has a warmth to it that'd suit Spikemuth. But yeah apparently Motostoke is supposed to be the Manchester equivalent which [shrugs deeply] idk about that chief.

Also thank you for your comment, it reminded me that Humbug came after Favourite worst nightmare. For some reason my brain thought it came before. (This is why there's a disclaimer that I'm not a music expert, my brain IS faulty) (Also I didn't mention "suck it and see" but if I'm honest "library pictures" and "brick by brick" are the only tracks that stuck with me from that one. Who knows why our brains latch onto what they do)

Anyway I loved waking up to music discussion, thanks for this anon 😤💖

Beach and pier, Llandudno

[your-divine-ribs]

I know Van has spoke about wanting to get out of his hometown but I think he would be a really fun person to do a British seaside holiday with. I can see Devil Next Door Van really wanting to impress Y/N and trying so hard to win her a prize in the arcades and there would definitely be a lot of silliness like throwing chips at each other on the pier and dodging seagulls. I think there's rides and a Ferris wheel on Llandudno pier too which could be kinda cute.

Yeah I think this too, like I don’t think he’d be too sentimental about going back for himself, but he’d absolutely love to take someone else there and show them around all his old haunts. I think then he’d probably surprise himself and feel surprisingly nostalgic!

I love all these ideas about the arcades and the funfair, it’s so cute, I’ll make sure to write them all in. I can imagine he’d be a pain in the arse splashing Y/N whilst paddling in the sea too, someone would probably end up going in fully dressed 😆
