Llyn Peninsula Coastal Path #3 - Hike and wild camp on the Wales Coast Path - Porthmadog to Bangor

On this hike I aim to complete the 110 miles of the Llyn Peninsula Costal Path, which is part of the Wales Coast Path. The whole adventure was completed in five days with a total ascent of circa 9,000 feet.

This will be quite a challenge as it involves a total of 30 miles and significant sections of road walking. On this hike I had met quite a number of hikers travelling in the opposite direction to me. Often they would tell me the horror I had ahead, of walking the A499 from Trevor to Dinas Dinelle. To ensure I was well prepared, I was the first customer at 7am in the local village shop. Stocking up on water and other supplies to keep me going the predicted distance of 10 miles. Whilst the road we are following is a major A road around the peninsular, the actual tarmac we are walking on is the old road with bits of links from cycle paths. From my calculations the road was actually more like 11-12 kilometres and it took just two and a half hours. Luckily the weather was good as well, so I believe I was lucky in my experience. When we reached Dinas Dinelle we stopped for a coffee break and a second breakfast, which had been my promise to myself to keep spirits high. From here we moved inland following the estuary with the island of Anglesey edging nearer as we made more progress north. We had been warned by fellow hikers and confirmation received from locals that the swing bridge at Caernarfon was shut and this was causing a two mile diversion. Therefore, I headed further inland to pick up the route of a steam train. Therefore, arriving at alongside Caernarfon Station and spotting a steam train refuelling. From the station bridge we had a great view of the castle and then we headed further into town to get a close up of the castle walls. As we approach the sea side of the castle we discovered that the swing bridge was actually open! Heading out of Caernarfon we now headed to Bangor Pier our final finish point and only nine miles remaining to complete our adventure. The first four miles was mainly tarmac again as it was cycle pathway. However, this followed by a delightful woods which had a number of birdwatching stages which we used as a place for a welcome rest. The remaining walk had us discovering a ground level view of the two distinctive bridges that had been assisting visitors for at least 150 years, to travel from NW Wales to Anglesey mainly to catch the ferry to Ireland from the port of Holyhead. If you have enjoyed this series of videos and are considering the hike yourself, I will be publishing a trail review which should give you sufficient information for you to complete this adventure.
