Walks we did earlier (1)

Starting to fill in for the walks we did even before we thought of the blog...

Moelfre

This was in the autumn of 2004. Originally we went to see the Dic Evans statue, which is well worth the visit on its own (and considerably larger and dramatic than any pictures suggest). We took the Hamilton Tea Shop Walks book and did walk 21.

It was on this walk that we conceived the idea of doing the whole coastal footpath.

Aberffraw - Porth Cwyfan

We did our next walk in December 2004. This was Hamilton Tea Shop Walks 15 but it's a common walk as it appears in the Menter Mon leaflet as Beuno/Cwyfan and Rogers Volume 1 walk 14 is almost the same. It was wintry.

Rhoscolyn

We must have bought the Rogers book by now, because this was Rogers Volume 1 walk12. There's a short version and a long version in the book, and we did the short one because it was blowing a gale and this walk is very exposed. It was worth it just to sit in the well, Ffynnon Santes Gwenfaen .

Penmon

Sometime in the spring of 2005 we did Rogers Volume 1 Walk 1 - getting more energetic now with a 6.5 mile walk! Unfortunately this walk by going through Penmon village misses out a bit of the proper coastal path - so we'll have to go back one day to do that. There were lots of cattle.

South Stack - North Stack

Getting more energetic again on 1 May 2005, this was Rogers Volume 1 walk 11. We missed out the summit of Holyhead Mountain, after earlier stretches proved steeper than anticipated (and something strange about passing that 'footpath closed' sign).
