Because of the deluge on Friday, the walk we chose for Saturday was the Little Orme and Penrhynside walk. It's just under 5 miles in length and isn't difficult but it does have some stunning views. We started the walk from the Co-op car park in Penrhyn Bay and went along the private road to Angel Bay. There were 3 Seals in the water and loads of Guilemots and Cormorants as well as a Peregrine Falcon flying over the quarry above us. After admiring the wildlife it was up the steep grassy incline and then we headed for the trig point on the summit. Before we got to the summit we made a detour to see the birds on the cliffs and you could actually smell them before you could see them, the stench was that bad. At the top we had our refreshments and enjoyed the spectacular views in all directions. Then it was down to the main road and turn left to go to Penrhynside. There we walked along the narrow road until we came to the public footpath at the end of the village that would take us to Pant Y Wennol. We went through the first gate ignoring a path immediately on your right and carried on the recognised footpath until we came to another kissing gate where our path was to the right. Now if anyone is thinking of going the same way as us my advise would be DON'T. The path was so overgrown due to the freak weather we are having that the nettles and brambles are right across the path and walking there was unpleasant and difficult.
We did get through the jungle that was the footpath and came to Pant Uchaf where there was a most beautiful and massive Great Dane dog in the garden. It was friendly though and we enjoyed a pleasant chat with the lady who lived there. Then down the lane to Bodafon Road, passing the school with it's lovely hanging baskets and along the road until we reached the farm lane on the left and back up there to Nant Y Gamma. We sat at the top and the views again were superb and then we went down the footpath and through the woods, passing St David's College and then crossed a field and walked down a lane past Penrhyn Old Hall. We completed the walk by having a nice Cappuccino and cup of tea at Home from Home Cooking and then went back to our cars where we planned our next walk.
