250 (am) Beaumaris to Bangor
I say goodbye to wonderful Anglesey, and walk through Bangor, a seaside town without a seaside. Continue reading
249 Glan-yr-Afon to Beaumaris
Anglesey really should do something about all these access-denied areas. I haven’t come across a more privately-owned and walker-unfriendly stretch of coastline since the New Forest. Continue reading
248 Red Wharf Bay to Glan-yr-afon
This coastal landscape reminds me of Norfolk. It’s a patchwork quilt of flat-topped islands threaded through with channels of sluggish water. Continue reading

I limp along, and develop hay fever to add to my misery. But at least I’m staggering on. Continue reading
246 City Dulas to Moelfre
I do some minor trespassing, discover a pretty beach, and learn about a tragic shipwreck. Continue reading
