Wellies as well? ;D
My walking boots are pretty good, even on very wet paths, but I could do with a pair of wellies..size 11 if anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas.  :D  ;)

                 Anglesey County Council publish a series of pamphlets entitled "Circular Coastal Walks on the Isle of Anglsey", which I have found to be very useful and detailed. They each cover certain areas (some have 2 or 3 walks from the same start point) and are mostly waymarked. They cover areas such as Llandona, Pentraeth, Brynsiencyn, Llyn Alaw, Amlwch, Moelfre, Dwynwen, Newborough, Aberfraw, Holy Island etc. and there was also a separate 42 page booklet  (with maps) available last year entitled "Circular walks on Anglesey's coast".
             They are available from libraries, tourist information etc. and probably also on-line. I got at least 9 pamphlets and the booklet from the Tourist Info. at Llanfair P.G. and they have been very handy.
Thank you, I think I may have found them online:

DaveR, I was interested to see your photo of Plas Rhianfa during the building works on your photography blog.
The manager told us that it had cost £3 million including the purchase price. Doesn't seem that much when you see what they have done to it but nevertheless there must have been some money made selling beds to finance it!

I believe Clarenco paid nearly a million pounds just to buy it, they are building up a chain of super luxury hotels around the UK.

I'm looking forward very much to a stay there myself in a couple of months.  $good$

I'm very sure I will!  :)

Just checked, the Guide Price was Plas Rhianfa was £1.95m and it originally went on the market for £3.25m!

Try the circular bed you can then have a rounded night's sleep and sort out your fen shui at the same time.

Nice.  Any chance some ropey photographers could join the forum, as I might be tempted to post some of my pics, then...  ???

Ah well, thats the point isn't it.

Real photography is an artform (so Dave tells me  :laugh:)  But its great to see Hollins and others venture on to this thread with such beautiful and enigmatic offerings.

Me?  If I take a picture that I like, I steer away from this thread and post it on 'Whats llandudno like' or 'Exploring' or suchlike.

I fear ridicule and rejection...  L0L
