I arrived at Aberffraw with my group to find that one of the biggest spring tides of the year has almost cut the village off. The estuary was as wide as I've ever seen it and perfectly calm.
There was so much water, that it was only just possible to get onto the bridge without getting wet feet.
And the usual road and footpath to the sea was out of the question!
Out at the river mouth, we were treated to dramatic views across to the Lleyn Peninsular. It was enough of a sight to stop the whole group in their tracks. We stood and stared for about five minutes.
After some of the more 'adventurous' members of the groups slipped off some rocks and fell into the sea, we decided to cut our walk short a bit. We were spending time rock pooling and treasure hunting amidst the bountiful piles of shells.
There was so much to see....
And thanks to the Military Road donations, plenty of magnifying glasses to go around!
A small swell started to build as we walked back to the now empty estuary at the end of the day. It's always amazing to see how much the tide moves around here. A great day to be exploring on the rocky coastline..
