An Introduction

We decided to walk the Anglesey Coastal Footpath, but not all in one go or in any systematic way. In fact it all started off in doing one or two Sunday afternoon strolls, then realising it could all be part of something bigger. The "Tea Shop Walks" guide indicates the style of our beginning, but we bought one or two more maps and guides, and soon started colouring in the Coastal Footpath map for those stretches we had covered.

The Coastal Footpath is 125 miles long. Their website says you can do it in twelve ten-mile walks. This is not our style; we don't count ourselves as such serious walkers. But we do enjoy the scenery, the exercise and the relaxation of, say, four miles, perhaps little longer when we have the time and the energy. We are generally doing this in circular walks - so will have covered 250 miles by the end of it.

This blog came later (so we are going to have to write something up about what we did earlier). We will try to write up each new walk we do, with a note of the experiences, good and bad, for the benefit of other walkers and the amusement of our friends and family.
