Aberdaron to another Towyn

It started very well with a rabbit in the path but I wasn't able to follow it so continued along the path by a stream until we came to a road. No sign of the sea yet. We crossed fields of cows, a bull and lots of sheep. Then we reached the top of the cliffs and I had to take care - narrow path, steep drop down to the sea and gusts of wind.

Looking back we could see Aberdaron in the far distance. Looking forward we could see the hill we had to climb over to reach Ian.

Before we reached that mountain, we got lost! She did find an interesting building that was once a mine working but had to walk cross country to find the road we should have been on.

I kept a look out so we didn't get lost again.

Then we reached the top and there were horses. We had lunch (I stole her sandwich!) then continued down hill and found Ian who'd cycled up the road. He went back on the road and we walked down to a cafe where we met again - this time they had cake and coffee and I got water!

After that the walk went downhill and we were already at sea level. First a long road walk (I hate those). Then we had to cross fields with sheep and cows and no signs so that took a long time. Luckily we saw Ian walking towards us so I realised she hadn't got lost but it was still a long walk back to the car. I was exhausted.

Dog Watching

I’m sat here in the back of the boat dog watching. The little yappy ones I don’t bother with. Those my size like the spaniels and collies are more interesting. Occasionally I see another beagle, good looking like me, but, if I see something large like a German Shepherd or a Labrador I’ll really bark. That’s when I get shouted at. They brought the boat round from Tattenhall Marina on Friday, stopping at the top of Beeston Iron Lock on the first night. On Saturday we entered the Llangollen canal so I got lots of interesting walks along the towpath. It rained on Sunday but we had lunch in a pub in Wrenbury and I got the scraps. By Monday night we’d reached the top of the staircase locks in Grindley Brook (thanks to the helpful volunteers) but had to go home on Tuesday for appointments. As they’re having a new shower fitted, we came back here to Whitchurch that same day and spent yesterday at Cholmondley Castle Gardens where there were loads o...

Wet and windy walk to Abersoch

We left Hell's Mouth and looked back at the waves crashing on the beach. It wasn't promising. As we walked over the top of the headland we got close to the edge. It was steep. 'I don't think I want to go any further.' She didn't listen. We headed on in the wind and the rain. Sometimes we nearly got blown over. See that headland? That's where we were heading. Oh no! That's miles away. 'Please can we go back,' I woofed as the wind blew me against the fence. She didn't listen. Then we reached this field. I couldn't see 'breeding bulls' anywhere so we continued. Notice I'm the one in front. Eventually we reached the top and started walking in the direction of Abersoch. We never actually got there. Ian was waiting in the first carpark by the sea. I enjoyed having a rub down and a drink. She had to wait to get back to get out of her wet things.

Prestatyn to Llanddulas

'Come on,' I barked. 'Let's go before the gulls wake up.' We were on a walk along the promenade from Prestatyn to Llanddulas, 12 miles away. The sea was still a bit choppy after the storms on Monday and the wind was breezy but there was a blue sky. I met another beagle (off the lead!!!) but it was old. There were lots of other people with dogs or children or on bikes. He was on his bike and met us half way at the Bike Cafe by the Foryd Bridge in Rhyl. Had a long drink and got some biscuits. He stayed with us for a while as we passed lots of work on flood defences along the seafront passing the funfair on the way to Pensarn Beach. There we stopped for a rest and listened to the bingo caller in the amusement arcade. The joys of a seaside holiday! He cycled back to the car and we followed. She had to be pulled most of the way.
