Overview
- Sue Roe discovered the bottle during an early-morning walk on the beach by the Caerddaniel caravan site a mile north of Barmouth, Gwynedd.
- Inside was a letter from Megan Jones, a caravanner from Birmingham staying at Lyons Sunnysands Holiday Park about 500 metres up the coast.
- The message is estimated to have floated in Cardigan Bay for no more than 10 days before washing ashore.
- After initially struggling to reach the sender, Sue posted a photo of the note online, and Megan responded with thanks and surprise at its short journey.
- Reports contextualized the brief trip with examples of rare long-distance finds and research suggesting most bottles are never recovered, attributing local outcomes to alongshore currents.
