Thursday 29th June
Glorious weather - sunny and warm, but with enough breeze to make it pleasant.
Just after 10.00 we decided to walk along the coastal path into Aberdaron - for coffee. We took the public footpath to the right a short distance before Ysgo. We unintentionally detoured slightly from the path but managed to access Llwybr Arfordir Cymru along the cliffs and into Aberdaron.
Brilliant views, though some of the terrain was a bit rough and overgrown with lush bracken.

We arrived soon after midday and ordered a decent coffee in Y Gegin Fawr cafe. A lovely place in the sunshine. It felt almost mediterranean with its flowers and whitewashed walls.
Then we dawdled around gazing at the beach before having lunch of quiche and salad in Becws Islyn. Pity about the ‘compostable’ plates and cutlery, since the food was excellent.

We returned via the coastal path route along the Afon Daron, and up to Morfa, then continuing along the coastal path as far as the smaller path by the stream up to Cadlan Isaf, which joins join the minor road from Ysgo.
Since both phones ran out of charge, we estimate the distance to be about 9 miles, maybe a little more. 760 feet(ish) of ups and downs. Quite strenuous walking and the uneven conditions underfoot meant that we had to concentrate! My legs knew they had walked.
First five miles or so…
