Wales Coast Path - Penmaemawr to Menai Bridge
Due to a virus I wasn't able to walk on Anglesey as planned yesterday and Monday. With heavy rain forecast for the next few days and over the weekend I decided to walk the final stage of Region A of the Wales Coast Path today.
I can now tick off North Wales Coast and Dee Estuary section of 68 miles of the path. Rather than stop at the Conwy border I carried on a further 11 miles and crossed over to Anglesey to Menai Bridge.
In Bangor I passed a building last seen in heavy rain as G and I made bacon butties on my camping stove after being washed out camping the night before.
Today almost didn't recognise it in the sun!
What began as a cloudy day ended up being a glorious sunny day as I made my way over the Menai Suspension Bridge.

Wales Coast Path - Penmaemawr to Llandudno
Was my earliest start ever! for any walk I've done. I left the house at half five in the morning to catch the first bus of the day.
3 hours later I'd arrived at Penmaemawr station wondering how I got over the train line to the path on the other side. Following a sign post I ended up going under the train line and arrived on the seafront.
Iron Man graffiti greeted me before I set on my travels again.
The first part ran parallel to the A55 dual carriage way which hugs the North Wales coast for a few miles and wasn't that inspiring, so ended up running for quarter of a mile before going back to walking.
I had my new Fuji 8200 bridge camera with me (have to say at the moment I prefer the pictures that my Panasonic tough compact produces). I should read the manual and practice taking more pics!
Nearing Conwy Castle I tried taking 1080p video:
Further round the path at Deganwy I took some more. Combined both video clips into one.
Going from a cold cloudy start the weather improved to a more sunnier and warmer day.
The last leg wasn't easy following the path round the Great Orme in Llandudno but allowed me to see where my walking will be taking me in 2 weeks - The island of Anglesey.
Below video of pics on today's walk and now I've almost completed Region A of the Wales Coast Path.
