Day 2: Church Bay to Cemaes


Photo opportunity before heading our separate ways - Alan's birthday today so he joined Gill, leaving Glenise with Sue to go playing on a beach - both safe from the cliff paths to come !




some very rugged cliff faces on the north coast of the island


permanent boardwalks in many places of the coastal trail to make wet areas passable



At this point, the book said 'don't go over the ladder style, take the path straight ahead.......'!?!?!
  - not the first pause/paws for thought due to the boggy ground in so many places!!


rugged and remote and intimidating if you suffer from vertigo as I discovered, but stunning views





more farmers' fields today, some of the cows very reluctant to budge and let us through


not only cows wanting us to NOT cross their territory, farmers also keen to 
keep us out with their electrified fences 🤯





so cute 


mum and lambs out for a walk


the walk leads you across Cemlyn Lagoon, a wildlife sanctuary,
the home of the largest tern colony in Britain,  roped off to protect nesting birds April-August
 


Wylfa Nuclear Power Station is at the far north of Anglesey and the route
meticulously circumnavigates the secure site


ever walked under a giant electricity pylon??


Glenise came to meet us at the end of an EXHAUSTING day 😫

Being a first time bl ogger short on IT skills, I thought the best way to share some of the occasional videos I took would be in a separate post - here they are.

Day 13 FINAL DAY - Trearddur Bay to Holyhead So today we set off, once again in unbelievably fine weather, to walk the final leg (no pun intended!) of our challenge.  I had only vague memories of visiting Trearddur and South Stack lighthouse in the late 1960's when we stayed in a caravan in Benllech, but I hadn't remembered how pretty and interesting the coastal area is as you leave Trearddur Bay.             Well, apart that is from the dark eerie big house perched on the cliffs to the left - is it the  spooky  home of the Addams Family?? This morning my phone was on fire  - not literally, but it was regularly pinging with people donating to our Just Giving page after I'd sent out a last minute appeal to try and reach £2000.  It was Michael McIntyre who inspired me with his 'send to all' slot 😄 but it did mean I had to teach myself how to 'broadcast' 😁) A bit thoughtful today as I walked - we've had hair-raising, funny, crazy mom...
