Spectacular Aberdaron to Porth Colmon

Another day on the coast path and a complete change of weather, with lots of the mud drying and easier conditions underfoot.  Still a small matter of hills and a mighty wind to contend with but the incredible sea views, coves and beaches more than made up for this!

Today was just ‘Billy no mates’ venturing out as Dee had quite rightly decided not to partake because of the aforementioned mudfest that we had seen the day before. The plan for today’s route of 15 miles, included a small section of path actually on the beach, with high tides expected a path closure across the beach was probably for the best!

Lots of good things to report today, in no particular order:-

Plenty of coastal path signs, lots of downhills (of course lots of uphills as well), awesome views, a few other walkers on the path, amazing weather albeit a tad windy (cobwebs defo blown away) and top of the list was Dee being able to track the walk on Garmin, enabling her to co-ordinate meeting me at the end with sandwiches, cakes and drinks!

Can you spot the coastal path … it goes either up and down (generally) or occasionally round all these lovely inclines!

Always a memorial along the path and today’s two feature ‘The view for Leo” being just a sign, so I assume Leo stood here rather than sitting.  This was made up for though a little later when a white painted bench came into sight but there was no plaque?

Most of the focus on pictures today revolves around sea views, a feature of coastal path walking is getting so many photo opportunities. All of these are taken with my phone, as I’d made the decision to travel light today which seemed a good decision as apparently there are Banjo’s locally?

Two more days of walking on The Llyn Peninsula before we move onto Holyhead next week for more walking exploits!
