This was our 105th night in our caravan in just over 2 years. We stayed at a camping and caravan club rally on Angelsey near Moelfre. We met some fellow caravanners who came from Darwen and introduced me to the happy campers club which is a group of family orientated campers who organise their own rallies and we will probably end up joining this group for one of our holidays soon. They have a website at HCC - happy Campers Club
This is the way that I walked along the coastal path around Angelsey |
The beach at LLigwy, large and sandy and a few jellyfish also |
This looks like an ancient gigantic cliff with trees on it |
Our vegetarian barbecue, we like bbq's too |
The Royal Charter memorial is on the coastal walk above the cliffs |

This is our last full day today and I will start by filling in the details of yesterday's days out in Beaumaris on Anglesey.
The weather for most of the day was cold and drizzly and we waited until 2.30 in the afternoon before venturing out.
We had to put some petrol in the car and at £70 I stopped and the tank still wasn't full, shocking how much it costs for fuel, it really stops us getting out and about in Wales as much as I'd like to.
At Beaumaris there is a lovely looking castle with a moat but as there was a cost to get in, we didn't even give it a second glance. We headed straight for the pier to start crab fishing. We had it on good authority that the best crab fishing in Wales was off Beaumaris pier.
the sun came out and we had a silhouette of us all. Only 5 of us and a post. |
After the chippy tea, my son showed some creativity with his chip tray, so I thought I would immortalise his first piece of major artwork for the world to see. His next exhibition could be a paying one so enjoy for free while you can.
This photo wouldn't rotate the correct way so please tilt your head to the right to view. :-) |
We had bought a pack of bacon as bait (don't forget we are vegetarians) and after about 1 hour we had 7 crabs in our buckets and as I had been designated the one to handle the dead pig! I had greasy hands.
The family next to us seemed like seasoned professionals and had a crab net and were using squid as bait.
So a top tip for crab fishing is to use squid, because they had over 50 crabs in their large bucket.
We stopped at the chippy in Moelfre for our tea and were served the scrappiest smallest pieces of potato that can still be classed as chips. All five of us left a lot of chips and that's not normal for us.
Anyway here are our photos...

day 5 details coming later after we actually do something.
We went to the beach and it was freezing even though the sun shone and I feel like I have a sunburn. We could see jellyfish in the sea, but I didn't have my camera, so a description will have to do. The jellyfish were aAbout 6" across with a pink circle outer ring and 4 pink circles in the middle of it, when I picked it up with the blue bodyboard, it was almost invisible and looked blue like the background it was on.
