Wales Coast Path - Prestatyn to Llandudno

Yesterday I continued to notch up the miles of the Wales Coast Path.

Arriving at a windy Prestatyn train station I was soon on the seafront wishing I had packed some gloves!

Getting there early on probably due it being a weekday not a lot of people were about, so I managed to get the above picture. I passed the odd dog walker but for the most of the time on the earlier part of the walk I had the coast to myself.

Pictures of they day can be found on my YouTube channel, search "neilrbee" and you'll find pictures from the previous sections of the Coast Path I've walked.

Setting reminders to drink and eat at regular intervals helped cover the planned 21 miles with minimal breaks. There are plenty of toilets at the car parks along the way.

The Rhyl Harbour project which includes a pedestrian and cycle bridge is coming along nicely. Slight detour to avoid the works and I was back on the path.

There's more progress on the Colwyn Bay Waterfront project, I like the design of the building and am interested to see it all when it's all finished.

Had to stop with cars as a digger turned itself round on a truck. Thought at one point one of its tracks was going to come off and envisaged the trailer tipping over!

Below my favourite panoramic photo of the day taken on my phone. Thanks for the retweets and favourites on Twitter.

Brief lunch stop.

The miles counted down and with about 17 or 18 miles done I had to walk up the Little Orme before heading down into Llandudno. It was a bit of a steep climb after walking the flat! Those who like running up hills and use Strava can see how well they do. The Strava Segment is called "Angel Way".

At the other side of the Little Orme it became cloudy and for my last couple of miles it began to rain whilst walking along Llandudno seafront.

Just short of 21 miles I stopped my Garmin watch and took a picture of the Mad Hatter statue from Alice in Wonderland. Alice can be found near the train station. Blisters on my feet but legs felt fine.

I began my travels of the Wales Coast Path at Chester and have done 3 walks:

• Chester to Flint - 11  miles
• Flint to Prestatyn - 18 miles
• Prestatyn to Llandudno - 21 miles

Next planned walk is from Llandudno round to Bangor.

Wales Coast Path

Yesterday I continued my travels along the Wales Coast Path. Starting at Flint and finishing at Prestatyn.

Chatting to a 73 year old and his 5 year old black working labrador he mentioned I'd chosen a good weekend as earlier they had snow on the fields down to the coast line. Further on I spotted a lamb which had probably died due to the snow.

Setting off early in the day I managed to catch some good photos of the sun in the waters reflection. Walking along the path there are lots of viewing points with information on the local area.

I caught a barge going past which at the time I didn't realise was carrying a wing for the Airbus Beluga airplane (only zooming in on the photo at home I realised what was onboard!!)

Spotted some interesting sculptors and photos taken (they can be seen in the video).

Approaching Llanerch-y-Mor I spotted a passenger ferry which I remembered as a child being full of shops inside. Now it's grown into disrepair but covered in excellent graffiti.

I walked around the large gas terminal before reaching Talacare beach and the Point of Ayr lighthouse (with silverman standing at the top).

Plodding along the beach and then over the dunes I arrived at Prestatyn and was glad to walk on concrete! after many miles of path, marshland, soft and hard sand.

More miles added to my spreadsheet and updated chart below.

Things To Do

Uploaded my 100th YouTube video last week.

So another item crossed off the list.

Off to Flint today to carry on walking the Wales Coast Path.
