Our first clear view of Holyhead Mountain. 
South Stack Light House from the lookout shelter.
The whole group at the trig point on Holyhead MountainWalk stats: Distance:11.7 miles; Climb:2295'.
Time:5 hours 48 minutes; Walking average:2.5 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:2.0 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard and Roger.
Weather conditions today for most of the walk was very kind to us. Bright and sunny for most of the time, accompanied by a pleasant but cooling breeze. By late afternoon however the breeze had changed to quite a strong wind, which was mainly at our backs. It did however bring in some rain that accompanied us for the last mile of the walk, but also stopped just as we got back to the car.
This walk following even more of the Anglesey Coastal Path than on previous occasions was even better than usual, almost the perfect walk.

We managed to return an item that had been dropped on the path to its rightful owner. It looked like a beret, but turned out to be something for a dog, exactly what use it was we will never know!
Most of the sea birds had left, leaving us more time to admire the wonderful rugged sea cliffs and deep sea inlets along this part of Holyhead Island.
Birds seen or heard today included:Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Wheatear, Herring gull, Chough, Linnet, Cormorant, Swallow, Jacksdaw, House sparrow, Pied wagtail and Raven.
As usual excellent pints of J.W.Lees bitter were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn, Pentre Halkyn
