It wasn't an easy day with a bus and 3 trains to tackle to get back across the UK.
And our experience with the train system in the UK was again tested.
We caught the bus to the station and our first train was listed on the board as on time, then late, then later, then cancelled. An hour and 15mins later we were on a train towards our destination, despite problems with connecting trains we made it to Prestatyn only an hour and half later than our original ETA.
Prestatyn is your typical UK beach town with lots of amusement park style activities, although it has a good stretch of sand rather than the pebble beaches found elsewhere.
We stayed at the Beaches Hotel a typical beach side hotel although slightly upmarket.
Today we sent our suitcase from the hotel to Chepstow and we would carry all our requirements for the next 2 weeks on our backs.
The first day took us from Prestatyn over the hills to Rhault, only 15km but a lot of uphill.
We arrived in Rhault and the rain started just after we made it to our hotel The White House (no sign of Trump in this White House)
Tomorrow is a big day 18 miles so its an early night and an early start, hopefully the rain will have cleared.
