Completing North-East

A nice day today - dry, not that warm and a breeze on the coast. We started off with lunch at the Pilot Boat Inn (see previous post), then took the path down towards Traeth Dulas. Old Red Sandstone, which outcrops here, was evident in walling along the trackway down to the beach. Picture shows Afon Goch from the footbridge at the head of the beach (with ducks).

Once across the beach, we were well away from the noise of traffic and people, hearing only birds and sheep. In fact, after leaving the beach (where we saw one couple) until in sight of Point Lynas, we didn't see anybody else on the path. This really was remote.

After passing Llanwenllwyfo Church and a few ups and downs on a country road, the path rejoins the coastine which it follows towards Point Lynas. A lot of up-and-down here as successive bays are traversed, but not as extreme as some on the north coast.

We took the Coastal Path Official Guide this time, but it was hardly necessary as the path is well marked throughout this section. Much of this stretch is a permissive path closed on certain days of the year; according to a sign it looks like these are just a few days in October to January, when they shoot - and the game birds were much in evidence today.

No return path? We did this with a car at each end: an extravagance we have never needed before on the coastal path.
