Friday 9th and Sat 10th August 2024.
Thursday morning we woke up on the eastern most part of the UK and last night we went to sleep on the west coast on Anglesey. We are staying on a temporary holiday site being run by the Lancashire and Cheshire District Association of the Camping and Caravanning Club.
We are on a huge field that is purpose organised for temporary holiday sites and other meets, it has three toilets and three showers and has electric hookup if you need it, because it is large there’s lots of space between everyone.
An 800 metre walk from the site is Ligwy Bay with a large sandy beach. There are a few outlets open during the day for food and drinks, so at the weekend it is busy.
Over the past 5 days I’ve driven around 600 miles and so I wasn’t in any rush to do anything energetic today on Saturday morning, Michelle took Layla down to the beach and I chilled out. However after lunch I proposed we took a walk along the headland coastal path to Moelfre. I haven’t done anything extremely challenging since my cancer treatment so I knew it wouldn’t be easy for me.
The path was narrow and worn down into a rut, the surface was very uneven and we had to lose height and gain height many times via slopes or steps it wasn’t easy going but the scenery was beautiful.
The path eventually emerged at the beach in the village of Moelfre where as luck has it directly in front of us was the Kinmel Arms pub, a very welcoming sight and we were soon quaffing a decent ale. The journey back wasn’t easy on tired legs but thankfully I made it, a round trip of 5 miles.
