21 May 2014 ............ Around Rhoscolyn - part 2
This is part 2 of the blog about my trip around Rhoscolyn, on a fabulous day with blue sky and sunshine, some wind, and a bit of swell.
Heading back up the coast away from the Black Arch, this is looking up beyond the White Arch to one of the several headlands around Rhoscolyn Head.
Round the headland, and looking across the bay to Rhoscolyn Head itself -
As you turn round Rhoscolyn Head, you start along what must be one of the most stunning bits of coastline anywhere around Anglesey - not because of the character of the cliffs, although they are quite spectacular in their own right.
It is also because you suddenly start seeing a whole lot of islands which gradually come into view as you head further round - and beyond them you can see the whole of the Lleyn Peninsula as a fabulous backdrop - and eventually most of Snowdonia as well.
Past the cave again,
and towards the next headland, Rhoscolyn Beacon begins to make an appearance -
Heading along the coast towards Rhoscolyn Bay, and there is another patch of rocks with very warped layers.
Further along, a bit more of the chain of islands around Rhoscolyn Beacon is now in view
As you head along, the views are constantly evolving - soon Snowdonia starts to appear -
Rhoscolyn Beacon is getting clearer now -
A closer view of the Lleyn Peninsula, way beyond the south west corner of Anglesey and Llanddwyn Island.
Snowdon itself is by now quite clear, and I think that you can also make out Crib Goch and Garnedd Ugain, as well as the summit of Snowdon.
As I was heading into Rhoscolyn Bay, I noticed that the visibility over the Lleyn Peninsula was getting a bit better - less hazy.
Once I was all packed up, and had had something to eat, I went for a walk along the beach - it was absolutely beautiful, with no midges.
I took this picture - there isn`t much I can say about it really - the picture says it all !
