After a night to forget in the worst
accommodation so far on my walks, £20.00 for the night and I
thought that they should have paid me! In order for people who read
this blog to avoid at all costs I have made an entry all of its own c/w photos.

| Penbryn Castle |
The day started with crisp clear air
and blue skies, I walked down Bangor high street and was pleasantly
surprised on how nice it was, people were busy setting up Christmas
stalls for a festive market...very nice! Just after the high street
I had to walk along a busy main road which took me past Penryn castle
(see pic) even though you can visit this castle you can't walk
through the grounds to get to the coast path. So I walked on through
Tal-y-Bont and took a left turn down a track that leads to the coast
pausing only to take a picture of the snow capped mountains that
surround Bangor.

| Conwy Castle |
The coast path is really well
maintained and flat, the first town you arrive at is Llanfairfechan
(easy for you to say!) this is where you pick up cycle path No5 which
runs parallel with the very busy and noisy A55. I followed the cycle
path through Penmaenmawr and onto Conwy where I stopped for lunch in
the shadow of their magnificent castle (see pic) I crossed the bridge
and made my way to the Great Orme (see pic), unfortunately the
weather was starting to close in and by the time I hit the first
slope it started to rain, by the time I reached the summit the mist
and fog had descended and you could barely see 10ft in front of you
this was a great shame as I was looking forward to the views from the
top! I trudged back down the other side of the hill into Llandudno
just as it stopped raining and started to clear....typical!
