It's been a wild three days to be out on an expedition and everyone that passed their Silver Assessment really earned it! There was a severe weather warning out for heavy rain, but thankfully it mostly all fell during the hours of darkness rather than while hiking!
The Anglesey coastal path was the destination and things started out bright and breezy on Friday by the Menai Straits.
The groups worked their way around towards Newbrough, where all was warm and bright.
One great thing about an expedition, is that you never quite know what is going to be around the corner!
Had a great sunset at Malltreath and a very windy camp, but only a few showers blew through (annoyingly while we were trying to set up camp!).
Onshore winds where the theme of Saturday as the west coast was travelled...
I was based out of the back of the van for the day. It would have been good to have had the eBike again, but I couldn't fit it in! Had to resort to good old fashion walking again between checkpoints!
After a very wet night, Sunday was a little torturous as there were some great waves rolling in. I stopped at a few places to enjoy the natural spectacle and marvel at the shapes and power of the waves.
By evening, the rivers were all in flood from the days rain. Ogwen bank was in full force at 580 on the river scale.
