Two and a half miles on the Cliffs at Trefor

A quiet day today so after a bacon butty breakfast we headed off to Trefor with a walk and some crabbing in mind. The car park was empty when we arrived and we set off towards the pier and then left to the start of the reserve. Here we took the lane to the left until we reached the quarry buildings, here we took the lane up the hill until we met the footpath, here we went right towards the old hotel, now we stay on the path to West end cottages. Unfortunately the steps to the beach were washed away so no access to the beach, we then followed the path up to the top of the cliffs back towards Trefor with good views of Anglesey. Soon the pier came into view again and before long we were back at the car, we went and had a go crabbing but caught nothing and lost my net.

In the hills above Llyn Dinas four and a half miles

Another clear crisp day so off to Beddgelert we go, we located our parking near Llyn Dinas and off we went. Not a long walk but the paths left a lot to be desired, we set off round the end of the lake and after a while took a stile to the right up through trees, the walk notes we had left a lot to the imagination but we eventually found our way to Hafod Owen the furthest out that we were going, a charming cottage dated 1806, with no roads to it. From here we made our way to Coed Llewelyn a small plantation of trees, now we were as high as we were going, making our way down to a visible track we were now on easier walking soon picking up a down hill lane. This brought us to Llindy Isaf, here we walked through the farmyard and picked up a path  by Llyn Dinas soon joining our outward path and our way back to the car. A good walk completed.
