amazing footage... i grew up there, and my grandparents had been going for years way before I was in the equation, staying at the Glyn Club and moving to Llanbedrog when they retired.
What's really spooky is I think that may be there in the group shot, immediately after the chap on the scooter and kids rides along the Fach site road. Harry and Trudy Mahoney, from the Wirral, if anyone can confirm this?
Thank You for this. It brings back happy memories of a much more innocent time. My folks rented a caravan from some friends and my Grandfather used to take us then leave us for the week we did not have a car of our own from Shropshire it was a 200 mile round trip for the old boy! We stayed at the Port Ba ch end. It was the Summer of 1960 halcyon days.
@bigcat178 Halcyon days for me too. That's me in the red shirt towards the end of the film, with Mum & Dad, Auntie Emily packing her Morris Minor to go home, and my brother bow 57, and our dog Paddy.
This is wonderdul. My parents also had a caravan at Fach Farm alsmost at the start . It was on the hill just to the right of the road up to the Williams farm. We may have even payed together on the Warren beach. Remember the black fish and chip van that used to park at the entrance
Very interesting to see the old style caravans and wonderful cars. How interesting to also not that despite the sunshine, there were few if no boats on the water compared to today. I liked it, thaks.

Yes I do remember the fish & chip van, it had a chimney on top that belched black smoke.
I think the original vehicle was ex army.
Then there was the milkman who came from a dairy in Chwilog.
He wore glasses and possibly had a glass eye, if not it was just a lazy eye.
Williams the son had a blue Standard Vanguard pick-up truck.
I first went in with my parents and little brother in 1953 when I was seven.
