Anglesey 2021 Vlog 16 - Point Lynas Lighthouse, Lligwy Beach

[@dougzirkle5951]

You’re both fortunate to have someone to share such an intimate, sometimes challenging ‘hobby’. I love how Carol isn’t afraid to grab a camera and take off on her own, giving you time to edit whilst providing her view of your surroundings and giving you each alone time.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Doug. You are right and we probably don’t appreciate each other enough so thanks for the reminder 😀👍

[@micheledamschke2441]

Loved it, yet again. Carol is such a lovely placid person. You are a great team. Thank you 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Our pleasure, Michele. Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂

[@maryg.249]

There’s always so much to compliment you both on. The drone footage, the food scenes, the wild flowers, the gorgeous beaches, and Carol getting used to filming. Great job! Anglesey is a very lovely place. Best to you both, Mary

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much Mary for your lovely comment, It’s so encouraging for us both to receive such compliments. Take care 👍😀❤️

I always have such fun tagging along on your adventures. It is interesting to see how you resolve any dilemma you encounter. Know we are here cheering for you and Carol! Continued happy travels. :)

Hi Denny. Thanks for your support. We need all the cheers we can get 😁👍

[@paulhough7410]

Enjoyed your Anglesey videos… it a smashing place, with some great bird watching sites. The two birds you were not sure of was the first ( the duck type ) was a female goosander and the one you thought might be a Reed warbler was in fact a male whitethroat. Great to see you are showing them. I am very interested in the shots you include from your drone, is there any chance you could do a couple of videos where you feature it and show us a few details of your model it’s pros and cons and perhaps the techniques of flying it. Many thanks for showing us your adventures. Keep up the good work.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the info on the birds. I will try and do a video on the drone but I still have a backlog from the Wales trip to finish first 🙂

[@PeterHalil]

Great vlog, I am an ex Lighthouse Keeper living on Anglesey, so have been enjoying your Anglesey trip. I served both on South Stack and Point Lynas in the early to late 1980's to name just a few. Take care and stay safe

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hello Peter. I have always wanted to experience staying in a lighthouse in a storm. Its a dream of course as it would probably scare me to death no matter how strong it may be. How did you become a Lighthouse Keeper. Thanks for watching and I am pleased you like them 👍

[@PeterHalil]

@@LifeistooshortCK Hi, Navy first then Lighthouses. The Tower Lighthouses out to sea give you a gentle shake in a big storm, but you soon get quite blase about it, as long as you've remembered to shut all the windows! Safe travels.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

@@PeterHalil quite an experience to get used to I imagine. 😁

A shed load to be honest but I have a backlog of editing that needs shifting before the next trip can begin 👍

[@Jaynemee]

We love watching you guys, started with the Isle of Man trip and then went back to the beginning and have been binge watching ever since. We've watched loads of other channels but yours is definitely our favorite. Carol has got me into geocaching now 👍 I found 4 yesterday after my freezing paddle in the sea🤣 We were wondering if you any plans to come and explore Scotland at all, Dumfries and Galloway is very beautiful, it'd be great to watch you exploring round here. Happy adventuring, take care Jayne and Nick

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hello Jayne. Thanks for your lovely support. I think Carol would like to do a bit more geocaching on the channel so lets see how that goes 😁👍

[@richardcope3850]

Another very enjoyable video, great advert for Anglesey. I used to think it was very small and only consisted of RAF Valley and a ferry terminal to Ireland. You’ve definitely addressed that misconception.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Plenty more to see and we only scratched the surface ☺️

[@assassinjane]

Loved Carol's filming! Dear Lady, you did very well! Thanks for sharing another beautiful place! Ken, sorry for the lost footage! My mischief was that recorded upside down. XD

had plenty a good game of cricket on Lligwy beach, nice to see its in good condition. Thanks for the vid

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Good morning to you both well this was very pleasant I got to watch both 16 and 17 of your videos this morning , love the old lighthouse building looks more like an old fortress , Anglesey is certainly a very nice place to travel around the only part I have really been to is the ferry terminal over to Ireland . Thanks for posting its always a treat to follow your trips . Take care always.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Shaun. Glad you enjoyed the double episode 😊 Have a great week 🙂👍

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

Lovely shots of the lighthouse and the surrounding views are the sort you carry back to happily reflect on. I love the idea too of being a lighthouse keeper and esp on a foggy winter's night. The reality might not be so enticing though. Thanks for the great vid.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Thomas. I have always fancied spending a night in a lighthouse during a storm ☺️

Thanks for watching John and taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated 🙂

[@johnwilkinson3478]

Ken, Some years ago I got involved in photography and Photoshop which gives me a slight understanding of just how much work and expense and learning you have gone through to make these videos you kindly share with us. Returning to the subject of What3Words I just wish I had had the sense and foresight to use this app to document our recent travels to Scotland where Val and I did the tour of Sky and the North Coast 500. If we had documented our tour in the same way as you and Carol have then our sons and grandchildren would be able to follow our route and overnight wild camping spots at any point in the future, if they so wished. Once again thanks for passing on your experiences and some of your valuable knowledge. Merry Christmas Carol and Ken. Hope to see you on our travels in our last June purchase of Greyham (grey VW camper) one day. Cheers till then … please keep up the good work. 👍😀

[@LifeistooshortCK]

There is a lot of work and learning involved for sure but luckily for me I enjoy that part a lot. It’s not too late to document where you went if you can remember. The what 3 words app allows you to examine a satellite map and find out the codes just like Google maps. It’s a small world so I wouldn’t be surprised if our paths cross some day out on the road. Make sure you say hello if they do 😁👍

[@jacquelinebell9186]

I said it last time I think 🤔 but I’m really enjoying Anglesey, we were there ( only for a week) about the same time as you. We stayed near to Trearddur Bay and walked every day both from the bay and from a car start. So I am finding it interesting and loving the drone shots of the places we had been to. Thanks again Carol & Ken 🚗

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Great to hear you are enjoying the videos Jacqueline. We didn’t visit Trearddur Bay this time but have marked it on the map for the next time we go to Anglesey. Sounds like you had a good time 😀

I timed the latest one (not including filming). It will be the next one released. Over 7hrs for a 17 minute film. This will get quicker. The best way to watch them is in a playlist as they are designed to be binge watched then it has more of a film feel 😁👍

Oh I did enjoy that 👍. What a lovely little cove you passed on your walk. One thing that makes me slightly nervous about solo wild camping is this thing with random people feeling the need/the right to challenge you. Has this always been the case or has it increased lately?

Why do some folk find themselves compelled to make frivolous, vindictive, vexatious and vengeful complaints just because they don't want to share ? Pure selfishness. "If I can't have a camper van and enjoy nature then I'm going to stop you from enjoying yourself". How about "Welcome to Bluff Doon, you've got a nice quiet camp here, you're not worrying anybody, make sure you see Joe's Chippy on the wharf, Enjoy your stay" ? How hard is that ? For some grumpy locals, too much.

[@owenfamily9065]

Genuine question - not looking for an argument. Do you ever visit and pay for campsites? Especially in these post pandemic times, it seems like we should be supporting the economy and buying the odd meal or takeaway doesn't really add up to much. You are also encouraging other people not to pay. The amount of 'wild campers' coming to Anglesey is now becoming a problem with some (I agree not all) leaving their waste and rubbish behind. I see from previous videos that you are an ex policeman and presumably on a very healthy pension. I know this is an assumption but you are most probably in a position to easily pay the £15 or so per night. This edges on entitlism.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I think you are missing the fundamental point of why we do this. it has nothing to do with saving money as you are right I do have a good pension which I got through blood sweat and tears. We paid for campsites for about 28 years when we had caravans. Campsites need booking, have arrival and departure times and lots of rules and notices warning you what you are not allowed to do. When they are busy they demand deposits which you lose when you want to change your plans. We have now discovered that they are not necessary for us anymore and the new freedom we now have makes us we wish we had switched to a van years ago. The truth is 99% of campers will never wild camp ever so I have no worries about the health of campsites going forwards. As for a few meals doesn’t help the local economy we could of course prepare our own meals and contribute nothing but we don’t. Like everyone else we are just coming out of lockdown and finding our feet about using restaurants again. As for campervans causing a mess I don’t buy that argument and have yet to see it myself. I have seen people in cars dropping litter and sometimes we pick it up.
