  • Once Upon a Time in…Holyhead features Andrew Walker who had a devastating and life-changing motorbike accident over 12 years ago which resulted in the loss of his right arm, a load of metalwork in his legs, a long time spent in a wheelchair followed by years of rehabilitation.
    Remarkably, Andrew returned to his great passion of rock climbing and here he revisits his fave sea cliff: Gogarth near Holyhead in North Wales. He attempts one of the greatest rock climbs in the UK called “A Dream of White Horses”.
    Andrew is a larger than life character and has a very special relationship with a myriad of memories of Gogarth where he has climbed literally dozens of routes spanning decades of climbing at the White Cliff.

    NIce route. I did it 40 years ago, along with Wen and Britomartis - a great day's climbing. Wen can be a bit wet (understatement) near the base.

    In the early 70s when I was on Gogarth, though not to this standard . It was known as "Dream of brown trousers" as one can see for good reason.
