out and about - 2013
08 February 2013 .............. Wylfa Head
Up on Wylfa Head on a rather grey day looking away to the west - Cemlyn Point and the Harry Furlough rocks, and then at the back Carmel Head, West Mouse, and the Skerries, all nicely laid out across the picture.
Looking back into Cemaes Bay - there are some good rock features down the west side of Cemaes Bay, though they don`t really show in the picture. The right amount of swell and the right tide level equals good fun.
Looking away across the entrance to Cemaes Bay now - Middle Mouse is quite obvious, but I am not sure if the headland is Dinas Gynfor or if it is the nearer un-named one - it could be that we are seeing both of them, but they are rather merging into each other. It does appear that we can see the folly on Dinas Gynfor - a tiny little lump sticking up.
Wylfa Head doesn`t have cliffs, it has these sort of bulbous rocky outcrops with grassy ledges inbetween, and you can scramble down them to sea level if you want.
You get some quite strong tide races at one or other end of Wylfa Head depending on whether it is a flood or an ebb tide, and they can create quite interesting seas, and they can be quite sneaky, sucking you into what you think is calm water, but suddenly you are dumped right out into the race. So not to be under-estimated.
