Monday 24th January 2022 Today was billed to be a 15 mile walk but it now seemed likely that I might be travelling down to London with our son on Sunday afternoon to help with some joinery jobs at his new house in London. Jill felt it would be good to reduce Saturday’s planned 17.6Continue reading “Day 161 – Abergwyngregyn to Llandudno 21.2 miles”

Day 160 – Caernarfon to Abergwyngregyn 18.1 miles
Sunday 23rd January 2022 We packed up from our not-very-special AirBnB, drove to Caernarfon and parked in the car park across the road from the Premier Inn where we are staying tonight. We set off along the path which is a cycle track along the former railway line. I warned Jill that we were inContinue reading “Day 160 – Caernarfon to Abergwyngregyn 18.1 miles”
Day 159 – Trefor to Caernarfon 20.2 miles
Saturday 22nd January 2022 Today was destined to be about 18.5 miles. A day’s walk often turns out to be longer than scheduled as I plot the route with a series of short, straight lines whereas in reality there are always a few curves and wiggles in the path which add to the total. Today’sContinue reading “Day 159 – Trefor to Caernarfon 20.2 miles”
Day 158 – Tudweilliog to Trefor 17.5 miles 2500′ ascent
Friday 21st January 2022 Today we were driving back to resume the walk at Tudweilliog and so we were able to leave a little later. The drive was only 20 mins and we parked by the village store and walked back to the coast path. Immediately we noted that there was an absence of cattle andContinue reading “Day 158 – Tudweilliog to Trefor 17.5 miles 2500′ ascent”
Day 157 – Aberdaron to Tudweiliog 19.5miles 2200’ascent
Thursday 20th January 2022 Yesterday we had a late finish and this morning we had an early start. The bus back to Aberdaron from Pwllheli is timetabled for 7:05 so we set our alarms for 5.45 and left our flat at 6.40 to get to the bus station. We were the only passengers. The busContinue reading “Day 157 – Aberdaron to Tudweiliog 19.5miles 2200’ascent”
Day 156 – Abersoch to Aberdaron 18.8 miles
Wednesday 19th January 2022 We had another early getaway to catch the 07:40 bus to Abersoch. We knew we had quite a long walk with the return being by an infrequent bus from Aberdaron. The cloud was down and it was dark and dank and the bus had its windscreen wipers going. This was notContinue reading “Day 156 – Abersoch to Aberdaron 18.8 miles”
Day 155 – Llanstumdwy to Abersoch 18.1 miles
Tuesday 18th January 2022 We were up early in order to get the 08:00 bus from Pwllheli to Llanstumdwy. While we were on the bus, the sunrise produced a really spectacular sky but sadly most of the colour had gone by the time we got off the bus and the remainder of the day wasContinue reading “Day 155 – Llanstumdwy to Abersoch 18.1 miles”
Day 154 – Porthmadog to Llanstumdwy 10 miles 705′ ascent
Monday 17th January 2022 We left home in North Yorkshire soon after 07:30 and drove to Porthmadog. We had a good journey and soon after 12:20 we were setting off from the car. We wasted a bit of time trying to find a copy of the Times without success. The route left Porthmadog past theContinue reading “Day 154 – Porthmadog to Llanstumdwy 10 miles 705′ ascent”
Day 153 – Harlech to Porthmadog 11.2 miles 721’ ascent
Tuesday 16th November 2021 Today is the last day of this walking session. We are a little ahead of schedule and so we are planning to walk to Porthmadog which is just shy of 12 miles and then get a bus back to the car and drive home to Yorkshire. The first hurdle to today’sContinue reading “Day 153 – Harlech to Porthmadog 11.2 miles 721’ ascent”
Day 152 – Llanaber to Harlech 15 miles 262’ ascent
Monday 15th November 2021 Last night Jill and I discussed how we would finish off this walking session. The original plan was to stop at Talsarnau, an insignificant little village which happens to have a railway station. Instead we have decided to try and make it to Porthmadog which will mark the start of theContinue reading “Day 152 – Llanaber to Harlech 15 miles 262’ ascent”
