Caim to Moelfre, July 1, 2017

Such a gorgeous day to day!  There were some navigation problems, though, for example, I got off the path at the wrong place so missed about a mile of coast line.  I would go back to do it tomorrow, but tomorrow's walk is long enough without adding a mile from the B and B to the "wrong spot" + the extra mile.

So, navigation.  You see this photo?  You see the little brown post behind the leaves?  That is a marker.  Then, heretofore, unbeknownst to me, it turns out that little posts with bright yellow caps on top are also markers (I missed one today) along with the regulation circles that have birds on them. But a picture of a walking person + an arrow is not.  




Thank God the dogs had not yet been let out for the day:




Beach walking.  It was harder than it looks, but on a dry day, it's not so bad:



But THIS was gorgeous!  Four miles of gorgeous!  Took off my boots after about ten minutes and went barefoot.  You just have to watch our for those razor like shells:


Of course, if you are going to walk barefoot on wet sand, you are going to have to put your socks and boots back on your sandy feet.  So what do you do?  Why you go into your back pack and fetch that cunning, thin little piece of red and white cotton fabric that you had bought two years prior in a museum in Paris because it was pretty and it was inexpensive even though you had no actual use for it at the time—nor could you think of one—but boy, does it make a good little towel when you need one!
