Re: Cape Wrath trail 2014: video log, reflections and FAQ

Enjoyed watching that and the comprehensive report. Don't know that I could manage that all in one go with my dodgy knees. Might do it in bits one of these years.

Thanks for the tips and hints - very useful

Re: Settle to Carlisle in 6 days.

Interesting that. Thanks for posting. Was wondering what to do next year and this one seems like a good choice with easy logistics each day....assuming the trains and legs run on time.

Re: Granny, Elemental and a lot of chocolate go on a long wa

Excellent trip and report. Enjoyed all of it and well done to both of you and very envious of your retirement.

Enjoy your long walks, there's nothing else quite like them IMO.. :clap: :clap:

Re: Granny, Elemental and a lot of chocolate go on a long wa

A really enjoyable read that gave the flavour of your journey (chocolate). It's great to see the little ones enjoying a walk like this. :) I have 3 little grandkids now who will be trained up when they're old enough.....to hopefully join me on a similar journey. Thanks for taking the time to write i...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day nine... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Church Bay to Holyhead A mere 14.7 miles, and bright skies. A little chill breeze but dry once more. The final day and I woke to a bright blue sky once more, and I’m going to be dry as the previous eight. I thought I would have 16 1/2 miles today, but due to a...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Eight... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Amlwych to Church Bay 19.1 miles in mostly bright sunshine. Did I say it’s been dry again…. I woke this morning after a not very good sleep, in a not very good hotel, and to a not very good breakfast. Least said the better, but it stoked me up and I was soon ...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Seven... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Benllech to Amlwych About 15 and a bit miles, Sunshine all the way. Ooh what a hot day followed by an evening meal at the hotel which didn’t have any vegetables. Lovely. I woke to blue skies and white bread for breakfast – not a slice of the healthy stuff aro...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Six... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Beaumaris to Benllech A whopping 19.5 miles due to two diversions. Started grey and chill but a bit of welcome sunshine in the afternoon. I woke up in a huge comfortable bed at my expensive B&B. The best one of the trip and a great place to be and relax. A ...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Five.. The Anglesey Coastal Path – Brynsiencin to Beaumaris 14 miles in a cold wind, grey day with a little too much lane walking. Dry again. A hard act to follow after the delights of Newborough Warren, but another day and continued changing views. The weather was overcast for most of the day, ...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Four... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Malltraeth to Brynsiencin 15 miles on the Satmap GPS – it doesn’t lie much honestly. Sunshine and clouds, turning chilly later and a little grey to finish the day. Last night it rained, but only after I’d been to the chippy and got back to the B&B. The own...

Hope you enjoy it. I've got a few more days to post yet, but as it's peeing down in Manchester, I've got all day. I've got a few other LDP's I've done previously but haven't posted them on here.

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Three... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Rhosneigr to Malltraeth 13 miles exactly today. A bit chilly but mainly bright with sun, sand and no sangria. Refreshed by a pleasant evening and a good Thai meal at the local restaurant, even though there was only one lady serving, it was worth waiting for –...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

Day Two .... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Trearddur Bay to Rhosneigr 15.1 miles, bright and sunny with a touch of windburn. Turned chilly in the afternoon once the tide turned. A very brief blog as I ran out of time due to various refreshments taking over me. A change from the high cliffs from day on...

Re: The Anglesey Coastal Path

It's going to take me a while to paste in the pictures bear with me....Day One... The Anglesey Coastal Path – Holyhead to Treardurr Bay 12.3 miles. Sunny, windy and chilly . I tucked in a merino base later this morning and boy was I thankful. A chill wind greeted me as I stepped off the train, as di...
