out and about - 2016
10 November 2016 ............ Llanbadrig to Dinas Gynfor
A walk along the Anglesey coastal path from Llanbadrig to Dinas Gynfor on a very windy day - fortunately the wind was blowing me over on-shore rather than off-shore - the path is quite exposed in places and right above some big drops, so maybe not the best place to be if the wind is trying to blow you over outwards.
A bit past the cemetry and out on the clifftops now - looking out past the first of the un-named headlands to Middle Mouse.
Looking back past Llanbadrig Head in the shade to Wylfa Head in the sunshine - strange how Wylfa Head looks to be quite low lying in this picture - it is actually quite high.
Further along the coast now, and looking down on Middle Mouse catching the sunshine, surrounded by quite a stormy sea.
Up on the second un-named headland now - looking along to the next headland, Dinas Gynfor.
This is quite wild and remote country, probably the most remote part of Anglesey - this is a general view looking away to the east, and as you can see, there is nothing to see but what you see.
Before you get across to Dinas Gynfor there is a big drop away down to sea level and Porth Llanlleiana, and just back from the beach there is the remains of a porcelain factory -
Up on Dinas Gynfor now beside the folly or monument - looking away to the west, past the nearer headland, then Wylfa Head, and you can just make out the Skerries away in the distance.
Turning round, and looking away to the east, with the lighthouse on Point Lynas just visible.
I didn`t go much further, but enough that I was looking down into Hell`s Mouth, this is looking away along the coast the other side of Hell`s Mouth - it continues like this all the way round to Bull Bay, apart from the beach at Porth Wen and the ruined brickworks - it is a wild bit of coastline.
