Holyhead to Trearddur Bay: The light house at South Stack

Rodney and Olie have been walking the costal path for a while now and wanted to explore a section of the coast which runs above the high cliffs between North and South Stack starting at Porth y felin (the other side of Holyhead). It passes North stack, Holyhead mountain and continues to South Stack and around the coast to Trearddur Bay. Some of the most rugged coast line to be seen on the island. Rodney and Olie described it as the most impressive part of the coastline he had seen! It is truly impressive with views far out to sea and around the coast. See http://mountaineeringjoe.co.uk/anglesey-coastal-path/ for more information of how you can enjoy the coastline with a guided walk with MountaineeringJoe.

Father Paul and his son Joe wanted an adventure day out while on Anglesey. So we went climbing on the Anglesey Sea cliffs at Rhoscolyn. Joe really enjoyed the atmosphere and excitement of the those crashing waves below us while we climbed on easy excellent rock. An really great day was aided by the weather of course!

We were Scrambling in the Ogwen Valley in excellent weather this week . Paul wanted to do Cneifion Arête an incredible grade 3 scramble but It starts a long way up in the hidden valley, Cwm Cneifion so we added in Direct Approach to Senior’s Ridge a grade 2 scramble to get to it, which really made a good mountaineering day out! If you are interested in extending your walking adventures, trying more ambitious walks then try our introduction to scrambling days, which is scrambling for walkers and make your walks more adventurous!

Tony wanted to the Welsh 3000s challenge over 2 days. Tony decided that he wanted to take on the challenge at a more relaxed pace over a longer period. So we arranged a stay on route at a mountain hut overnight in the Ogwen Valley, before the final walk on the Carneddau. This worked out well, and a solution that really allowed Tony to enjoy the whole experience without having to complete it in the dark. For more information on doing multiday challenges click here</a
