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.
