Wales Coast Path | Port Colmon to Aberdaron

Llyn Peninsula | Whistling Sands beach

Lynn Peninsula | Porth Lago beach

Wales Coast Path

Today was another early rise for a 3 hour road trip to North Wales. Port Colman round to Aberdaron on the Lynn Peninsula walking the Wales Coast Path.

Mileage was to be 14 miles with an ETA in Aberdaron of 5 hours. 

Unlike previous walks on the Lynn Peninsula the weather wasn't so kind. Rain had been forecast and rain it did!

Early on I heard the word "morning" as the first of two runners passed me on the path.

Note to myself to check for any alterations to the path. I met a couple and like me expected it to head inland at one point. So we did as the signpost suggested and stuck to the coast.

By sticking to the coast I was able to get a video of Porth Lago beach. A favourite of the Welsh poet RS Thomas. The second video to add to my beach collection was Whistling Sands.

There were a lot of ups and downs with some steep sections to test my fitness so at one point I thought 5 hours wasn't looking likely.

Below taken from Strava showing the altitude gained.

So in the end the 14 miles took 4 hours 58 minutes and managed a small run at the end!

Thanks to G for doing the honours in dropping me off at the start and for the road journey home.

Next posts will be the two beaches and pictures of the day.

My next section of the path will be in two parts..

Wales Coast Path - Menai Bridge to Caernarfon

Wales Coast Path - Porth Colman to Morfa Nefyn

Wales Coast Path

Since finishing the Anglesey Coast path last year I have been back to the mainland twice.

Section focusing on this year is the Lynn Peninsula.

Already ticked off is Port Colmon to Morfa Nefyn. I was using my new Garmin vivoactive watch and made the mistake of tracking in kilometres instead of miles!

Will post the picture of the day as a separate post as still can't within this post!!!

So yesterday it was from Menai Bridge which links the mainland to Anglesey to Caernarfon.

The section starts in woodland runs under the Britannia Bridge and passes by the Swellies, it was low tide so the different currents weren't running too fast.

Got very spooky walking past a mausoleum.

Next up was the main road for a while before turning into cycle route 8 all the way to Caernarfon.

So not many photo opportunities until my goal. Probably took more video of wildlife and power boats. All the links in photo video.

Time for a dust off!

It's been a while since I last posted.

I am back walking the Wales Coast Path and continuing to build my YouTube channel.

So in future posts I'll give you an update on both!
