Pirate Weekend in Conwy

There was a lot of cheering as the competitors raced along the quay

 Conwy was well and truely bustling this Pirate weekend. It was good to see that so many people, adults as well as children had taken the time to dress up in Pirate gear. Once my guests had  arrived I  cycled over along the cycle path ( I decided that parking would be problematic in Conwy so cycling would be easier) When i arrived they were in the midst of having a barrel rolling competition on the quayside.

One race finished without any mishaps 2nd competitor still en route.

Plenty of pirates in the audience

The town of Conwy was decked out with Pirate flags and there was even a Pirate ship moored off the quay

Good to see all the shops etc  taking part

Even a Pirate ship

Hopefuly this Pirate won't be firing the canon at her dad!!

The lifeboat crew were in the stocks and getting a real old soaking....the things they do to collect donations

Just going to include pictures of some of the costumes. The castle in the background makes the perfect backdrop......just a pity there were cars parked there!

This huddle of Pirates look like they are cooking up some plot!

Not sure if he's trying to look fierce
