Obviously spent far too much time with my head in books back then!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-64090990348971636792014-09-29T09:18:03.250+01:002014-09-29T09:18:03.250+01:00Ah yes, the carbuncle Grand Designs house.

I'm afraid planning committees are a favourite hobby horse of mine and I'm the bane of ours locally. Any plan that looks out of place gets a stiffly worded letter of objection. I completely accept that our countryside looks the way it does because of thousands of years of change, but it's been gradual change and in long distant past mostly sympathetic (local materials). I can't help thinking that the thought of this part of the coast getting a bit of airplay on national TV swung the jury. Not my cup of tea though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298215339426733968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-83097745373718026162014-09-28T07:05:51.163+01:002014-09-28T07:05:51.163+01:00You have still done well, Gayle.

So is Angelsey away from the caravan parks - and I stayed on many of those as a child too. I hope you have made time to stop of at the various castles you have passed en route. Magnificent.

I already did Chester to Bangor, and Anglesey (actually, that's another section I'd recommend - Anglesey was excellent) earlier in the year. Not sure when I'll get to finish it off now, as I'm tending towards thinking that coastal walking is best done in fine weather.

I'm just shy of Caernarfon right now, heading north (with just 12 miles to go until I finish this section), and was walking between Aberdyfi and Pwllheli* last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.<br /><br />If you fancy a bit more Welsh coast at some point, I particularly enjoyed the Ceredigion Coast Path (which, of course, also forms part of the Wales Coast Path), which is also ridiculously well waymarked.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-54405820914467974852014-09-25T09:19:07.493+01:002014-09-25T09:19:07.493+01:00Thanks Mark.

I suspect that the Wales path will not have the consistent loveliness of the SW Path, but parts of it are stunning.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-77989130029403208912014-09-25T09:18:07.368+01:002014-09-25T09:18:07.368+01:00You would have thought this was an easy one to rep...You would have thought this was an easy one to replicate, too.
