It was one of those splendid hot summer days on Anglesey, perfect for a trip out to Rhoscolyn Beacon to say hi to the seals and to play in the races.“ The coastal exposures around Rhoscolyn exhibit some of the finest examples of polyphase fold structures known in southern Britain and are amongst the most intensively studied sites of structural geological interest in the British Isles. Rhoscolyn Beacon tower stands on a small rocky island off the coast at Rhoscolyn, Anglesey, North Wales. The island is one of a group that are known as Seagulls' Islands (Welsh: Ynysoedd Gwylanod). The beacon has served as a navigational aid for well over a century. Originally the beacon would have been painted black and white. Seals are often found on the islands.”
After about an hour of exploring these isolated rocks we picked up the flowing tide and headed down the coast in the direction of Trearddur Bay, rock hopping and exploring the coastline along the way. Having reached to
Bwa Gwyn,the White Arch, we found somewhere to pull up the kayaks and take a spot of lunch. We then took an open-crossing of about 4 kilometres to Porth Dafarch where we took another well earned break before heading back to Trearddur Bay where Terry, kindly acting as mother, supplied us with tea and biscuits and to talk about the many other journeys yet to be undertaken.CAN’T WAIT!
