Back to the Wales Coast Path

On Saturday it was an early rise to go back to Anglesey to continue walking the Wales Coast Path.

Whilst waiting for for the bus to take to me to Crewe train station the cloudless sky allowed me to try my Panasonic zoom camera at capturing the moon.

You can check out the results in the video on a previous post.

Slowly increasing the mileage on Anglesey, last October covered 6 miles of the eastern part of the island. The days plan was to cover 8 miles of the southern part of the island, from Gogogoch round to Beaumaris.
















Note to those travelling by train to Anglesey, all the stops before Holyhead on the island are request stops so you need to make sure you tell or find! in my case the conductor. Think otherwise I would of been walking a 12 mile section from Holyhead, but that can be saved for another time!

Leaving Gogogoch station it's a short walk to Wales Coast Path and I couldn't of asked for better weather with views back to the mainland and the Welsh mountains.














This section of the path allows you take in both bridges which joins Anglesey to the mainland. Parts are very tranquil and an abundance of birds and cattle. From herons, oyster catchers, geese, bulls and bearded! cows.

Leaving Menai Bridge the path heads inland but the height gained and monotony of walking on a minor road is rewarded with the views back to the mountains.

Other pictures of the day can be found in the video of a previous post along with view of journeys end at Beaumaris.

So the total for miles on Anglesey to date is 14. My next walk will take me past 100 miles :-)
