 THE VIDEO COLLECTION - 'the outtakes'!!! 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. The quality varies and content is a bit repetitive but when I look back at some of the moments (a few really rather hair-raisingπŸ‘€πŸ˜…πŸ˜…), what fun we had!!

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??

Another chapel ⛪⛪- we've seen quite a number during the last fortnight πŸ˜ƒ We'd strayed off the official path onto a lane, but so tranquil and lovely views - quietness punctuated now and again by the roar of jets ✈ ✈ or a helicopter out on a mission from RAF Valley Lots going on at the pop up restaurant at Rhoscolyn Chapel! Glenise wasn't with us till after lunch today, but we had the chance to get a doggy fix with 2 local ladies out on their daily stroll with their canine companions πŸ•πŸ• C
