Anglesey camping and cycling

It may have seemed a little crazy to be going camping at the weekend given the recent appaling weather, but actually it turned out well, and we got in plenty of cycling and walking. On Saturday we cycled around Penmon Point and Fedw Fawr, on Sunday we cycled along the North Wales coastal route and on Monday we went to South Stack. Birds included Black Guillemots at Penmon Point, and Puffins, Choughs and the usual sea birds at South Stack.


Following the deluge on Friday, when a months rain fell in 24 hours in many parts of the country, including North Wales, where sections of the A55 coast road were under water, it was hard to believe that this was the weather on Anglesey on Saturday! Glorious, sunny, warm and calm! Which was a good job, because we were camping for two nights. Not only that, we had taken the bikes and on Sunday caught the train from Bangor to Abergele and then biked it back, a full 35 miles if you include the detour to Llandudno.


We camped near Beaumauris.
