200 miles in 2 Years

Two years ago I set off on the Wales Coast Path from Chester. A long distance footpath of 870 miles from Chester to Chepstow covering the Wales coast.

Well 2 years later I've walked round from Chester to Menai Bridge and round the whole of Anglesey.

Tuesday of last week I walked from Holyhead round to Trearddur on Anglesey. This walk took my total mileage to over 200 miles walked in two years.

In a previous post I mentioned using buses for the walks. I use the mobile website of transpordirect on my mobile phone. I plan my journey then use screenshots to capture the results of the times and changes etc. This saves you using your data on your phone, plus you don't always get a signal.

You can do the same with train times using the National Rail websites.

My chosen camera now for the walks is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact. It's a 30x optical zoom camera which shoots video in full HD and a cool slow motion video function.

Pictures of each section I've covered and videos from my favourite spots on Anglesey can now be found in my Playlists on on YouTube channel.

I'll be covering the rest of the Wales Coast Path over the coming years in future posts so watch this space!!

Walked all of the Anglesey Coast Path

The end and start of the Anglesey Coast Path

Day 2 of my back to back walks on Anglesey.

The official start of the Anglesey Coast Path is Saint Cybi church in Holyhead.

Today was the end of my walks on the path.

7am rise to catch the sunrise and by half seven I was off to walk from Holyhead round to Treardurr.

My Endomondo wouldn't pick up any GPS so luckily I had my Garmin watch to track the mileage. It too struggled at times to get a signal.

Carrying my 40 litre rucksack at times walking upto the top of Holyhead mountain was tough going! Think I may invest in some good walking poles.

Captured different sides of South Stacks lighthouse on video. You can find it on my Anglesey playlist on my YouTube channel.

Greeted by a fabulous view of the Welsh mountains on the mainland as I reached the top of Holyhead mountain.

The going underfoot for the last section was a lot easier, just had to watch out for the cliff edges!

The walk ended with another eerie house, yesterday one in Aberffraw looked a bit spooky at the start of the walk. Amityville sprung to mind!

So with back to back walks I've covered off all of Anglesey, 132 miles.

Felt sad as it has come to an end on the island of Anglesey. Will be back to see the birds and jets from RAF Valley.

However my journey continues on the Wales Coast Path as in October  I will be doing 3 days in a row using Abersoch as a base.

Back to back walks on Anglesey

Usually I write these posts the day after my walk on the Wales Coast Path. Today as I’m staying in a b and b I am using the wifi to cover the day’s event.

Took a bus from the now familiar stop outside of Bangor station to Aberffraw.

I'll be sharing my tips on using buses for the walks in a future post.

The section was to be Aberffraw up to Four Mile Bridge.

For half the journey  I was chatting to a retired chap from Crewe, exchanging places we have walked and I got some good walking tips.

Had a busy day taking videos as well as the usual pictures. Took in Rhosneigr beach, a RAF jet taking off from Valley airport and spotted an oyster catcher looking for food.

Added a playlist on YouTube for all my videos taken on Anglesey and another for all the photos taken walking the Wales Coast Path.

For the first time I’ll be walking tomorrow to finish off the Path on Anglesey, from Holyhead round to Trearddur. So will update my miles covered so far tomorrow.

Been a long day, so my bed calls!

YouTube Channel Playlists

I've added some Playlists to my YouTube channel at the bottom of the screen:

• Video tests
• Lego Creator
• Anglesey
• Wales Coast Path

Will be adding a few more videos to the Wales Coast Path playlist over the next few days and will add a couple more Lego playlists.
