Wales Coastal Path ep.37 Trefor to Morfa Nefyn
Welcome to our adventure. Myself Ant and Rab the dog have embarked on our walk along the coastal paths of England and Wales.
Starting our trip on the Scottish boarder town of Gretna and heading south along the Cumbrian coast, on to Lancashire and Merseyside, the Wirral and then walking the amazing Welsh coastal path.
After this if we are still fit for the job we will try to walk the rest of the English coastal path.
This will be a self supported trip. Rab and I have our campervan which we will spend most of our nights in. We will have to complete the days walk and then find our way back to pick up the van by Bus, Train, Hitching a ride and sometimes we may have to walk back.
When a days walk will not bring us to a place suitable to get back to the van we will camp out.
One of the challenges of this trip outside of the walk is to find a suitable place to park our van every night.
I will be documenting our journey to see what this long walk has to offer both from the external environment we experience and my internal, personal journey through the highs and lows of this long distance adventure.
Along with walking through the amazing and diverse landscapes of this trip it will be an exploration of my spiritual, physical and emotional self, due to this fact please understand that some attitudes and opinions I may express while filming may not be a true representation of my thoughts, and though these moments can be edited out I would like show at least some of my emotions at the time I experience them.
With this in mind my friends, I reserve the right to change my mind and my opinion at any moment.
I welcome any questions you may have
much love to you all...

    A full happy view there B.G. The great orme was a sign of the epic things to come. Ha, bivvie spotting - always a fave pastime out hiking. Beach walking is top rate too - some nice stretches here. Re-the castle how cool to have the gateway to the town still there - walk right through the ages. Well, a good finish with the graf. U have to sub on account of the good vibes. All the best. Mark

    Ah, I seee you lost your way at the start of Llanfairfechan, (just after the road coming from the A55 roundabout, you should have turned right, to the Llanfairfechan promenade/beach, you must have followed the map path on the main road, (no vid from here on but you started the vid near Abergwyngregyn crossing a river on a footbridge, about 3 miles further on from Llanfauirfechan. No matter but you missed out on a fine path at the sea's edge from LLanfairfechan Promenade/beach to that place you had a wash.

    Thanks for another great video.❤ I know you like to follow your own route, but if you're ever back in Conwy, the official WCP offers 2 coast routes as you probably already know, im sure. Red upland route and the blue lowland route, I did both. The upland route was pretty spectacular with stunning coast views all the way and no nasty traffic noise. 😊 Actually, one of my many favourites walks on the entire Welsh coast. Happy safe walking 😊

    • @beyondgrowing
      @beyondgrowing 14 днів тому

      @dianeiles6348 thank you for your advise, I will take the upland route next time. We do miss out on some routes we would usually enjoy on this trip due to myself feeling we must keep moving on and doing the miles. It is one of the aspects I fight with myself about, the idea of forgetting the end point and spending more time exploring is very appealing...maybe this is how our journey will evolve

    The birds you mention are a kind of cormorant Bella looking to the sea protecting the seafarers and Bertie looking to the land to protect the residents. Legend has it that if these birds disappear the city will dissolve. What possessed you to walk from Bootle to the centre? You could have gotten much closer to the centre no problem. There's so much beauty and hisory to see in this city. Shame you were in so much pain.
