[@rohitdeepak7416]

Thank you for showing us what we are missing, sitting cosily at home -this is definitely a walk to be done soon - all the best

[@WebbysWalks]

Thank you Rohit for watching and commenting. It is a good idea to watch walks from home with the weather the way it is at the moment. Stay warm. Lol. Its a nice walk to do, lovely views and beach to visit.

Beautiful walk here ! I love that overcast seaside, I guess it cannot get more Welsh than that!

[@WebbysWalks]

Thank you for watching. Luckily, there was no rain, and it was not a cold day, like it had been all week, perfect really for that particular walk, Thank you for your comment.☁️☁️👍🏻👍🏻

Those views are stunning Andy it looks like an amazing place up on the cliffs. I love that tower that's so cool. Definitely looks very dramatic with the weather. Those cliffs look so cool to walk on and I bet it would make some amazing drone footage ❤️

[@WebbysWalks]

Hi, yes, this was a dramatic stretch of coastline to walk, some narrow paths to navigate along the cliffs, but it was a fun adventure. Yes, a drone would have been great, as I heard there were caves below us, we could not see. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻

[@wavesoffun]

Great to see this section from up on the cliffs. Just to the right of Traeth Ynys y Fydlyn island inside the cliffs are some amazing caves which are amazing to paddle through. Hidden from land and the beach - they are just for kayakers and swimmers! This is a fantastic bit of coastline. Great to see the Skerries from clifftop too.

[@WebbysWalks]

Thank you, Ian. we sat on the beach for a while on the walk back for a dinner/rest stop, and I did wonder whilst looking out at the magical elephant rock if you or your buddies had kayaked underneath the elephants trunk in the Cove. Thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@wavesoffun]

Yes, it's a fantastic place to paddle... Certainly fun going through the archway there to. The caves go back quite a way and you can come out a different exit... With a bit of paddling in the dark - fun when there is a bit of swell on the water!

Hi Andy, beautiful Ynys Mon / Anglesey, we love this area so much and you got great footage with Ethan. It's just a shame that there is a lot of erosion along this coast . Good to see the old copper mine and chimney and buildings and sad it had to close. Great footage of the lighthouse on the Skerries with the Isle of Man behind too and the whole walk that you did along here is just so beautiful. Love Mynachdy and the beach at Ynys y Fydlyn. Nice that you were meeting up with another KZbinr too😃 Great to see :) ~ Anna 👍

[@WebbysWalks]

Hi Anna, Thank you for watching and your lovely comment. I had to zoom in on my phone for the lighthouse, taken from the beach. There was a great view of the Skerries from there. It was for me one of the best sections we have walked so far. Anglesey is such a beautiful place, I had never really explored before this coast path malarkey. I hope I got the place names correct, I have already filmed the next section and met up with Smithy, who is also walking the coast path, and he has overtaken me. You see more of me on his video than on mine, lol. Thank you again for watching 👍🏻

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

@@WebbysWalks Yes it's a stunning area and yes I think you did great on the names as far as I noticed though Alf did keep talking but I'm sure all was correct, I didn't notice anything wrong ! 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@WebbysWalks]

@FX Wales - Anna & Alf , Diolch, it is always a worry.

Great stuff as usual Webby. Im going to have to drive back to Church Bay and walk back to where I took the wrong direction. Went through pheasant farm and inland instead of going down to Elephant rock. Missed out on about a mile or so of coastline.

[@WebbysWalks]

I think that is the diversion. I saw a sign near the chimney saying a section of the path ahead was closed, I think I walked the day after you did. There was a map of the diversion, and it looked like a big inland diversion. The sign was small, but I thought no thanks, and headed back. Missed it out and did the next bit instead where we bumped into you. They close it every year, so I presume they alter the signage. Its not too far up from Church Bay, but there may be a nearer inland car park. Thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@SmithyGolfandSmithyWalks]

@@WebbysWalks I didnt see any diversion signs. I had to crawl under the electric fence near the chimney. I think I just took a wrong turning. I shouldnt have been walking through a pheasant farm lol. But when I got myself back to coast .Ive missed out on that cove. Next time Im down will do that bit again. Look forward to your next ones Webby. Im waiting till spring summer before Trefor to Nefyn.

[@WebbysWalks]

@Smithy 100 Golf and Smithy Walks Those electric fences were there on the last walk to the chimney but had gone on this trip. I'm looking forward to more of yours, too. Are you still considering other walks?

[@SmithyGolfandSmithyWalks]

@@WebbysWalks yeah .Im intent on doing Cleveland Way .definitely the first half anyway. If possible West Highland Way.

[@WebbysWalks]

@Smithy 100 Golf and Smithy Walks I've watched videos of the West Highland Way, and it looks immense.

[@NatSatFat]

I do so love your vids, you capture just about everything of interest! and give a good explanation for the most part, and the views are outstanding, (you feel like you've been there?) this vid looks a bit rough and tumble underfoot, difficult terrain? path almost not there, except for the "direction signs" (that sea-cave with the waves tumbling out looks very fascinating, right by ynys y Fydlyn) this is really a wild walk?

[@WebbysWalks]

Thank you, Bryn. Yes, the walk was a bit rough underfoot in places, but it was easy to follow, well signposted. The views were amazing, and Ynys y Fydlyn was my favourite part. We stopped for lunch there. We had already walked one way, and I filmed the return walk to keep it all in line with the other videos. The tide was in on the way. It was only on the return that we got to see the cave as the sea had gone out, so we explored the little rock pools that were now exposed, which led us to discover the cave. I'm glad we waited to do this section and not walked it when some of the path is closed and an inland diversion in place. Thank you for watching, I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. All the best, Andy
