Yesterday, when we picked Wayne up in Llanfair PG we thought that we had made the right decision by dressing in our Winter walking gear for yesterday's walk, as the roof tops were still frozen after the previous nights frost . We then made our way up to the north of Anglesey and parked in a lay by near to an old farmhouse. From there we followed a fast flowing stream that took us to the pebbly bay of Hen Porth which looked so lovely in the Winter sunshine, the only downside was the fact that the Wylfa Nuclear power station was visible in the distance and could always be seen along this stretch of coast. After taking some photos we carried on in a westerly direction along the undulating cliff top walk and
it wasn't long before we realised what a warm and beautiful wind less day it was and then the fleece hat came off, quickly followed by the gloves and anoraks. It still felt very warm but it was an enjoyable walk along a very attractive coastline and we soon reached the White Ladies. The two white ladies are in fact 3, 45ft tall markers in a line, two on the cliff top near Carmel Head, and the third on the small island of West Mouse. They point to the coal rock, a sea level rock further out than the small island of West Mouse. Coal rock can just be seen on the lowest tides and is 1.5 miles offshore. There are also two other rocks in the area, all marked with black buoys.
We decided to have our refreshments nearby and sat near the cliff edge and had a look over to the Skerries while enjoying our refreshments. The currents between the Skerries and where we were are absolutely treacherous and we watched a small motor boat crossing through the water and against these currents and at times the boat was making no headway whatsoever but eventually it did get through.
After enjoying our drinks and food we then headed uphill and inland and followed a newly made track back downhill to the car passing a large lake en route. We couldn't make out the purpose of such a grand track or who would possibly have done it but there must have been some reason for it but it must have cost a packet.
After reaching the car we then drove down to Cemlyn Bay and had a walk on the headland and a look at the lagoon before heading to Four Mile Bridge where a hot chocolate and slice of coffee cake went down very well.
