Highlights - Fantastic to walk with Abbie in the morning. A really great way to start the day. Plus knowing that I was going to be staying with Eve in the evening so I was going to have a hot meal, a hot bath and a warm bed to sleep it. It kept me motivated on the final push!
Challenges - I felt completely wiped by 4 pm I couldnāt stop yawning I was so tired!

Date: 2nd May 2022
Weather: dry, with an overcast, it wanted to rain. Lots of dark clouds š§
From: Menai Bridge
Start time: 9.30am
To: Dinas Dinlle
End time: 5.50pm
Accommodation: Pod - a bed, with electricity & a heater š„
Terrain: easy, low level walking, but few paths, often set back from the coast and mostly along cycleways and roads.
š„¾Miles: 18 miles - my watch says 21!
š¦¶Steps: 44,025
š Ascent: 200m
šGuidebook Info:
Stage: 15
Pages: 117 - 122
Total miles on the WCP: 230/870
š°Costs: Ā£45 - to stay in my tent was Ā£30 - for an extra Ā£15 I had a cabin with heating and electricity. I just could not bring myself to pay Ā£30 for camping!
Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 5/10 - not the best day but not the worst
Fatigue: 3/10
Ease of terrain: 3/10 - itās flat ground. But the roads and some of the tracks are really tough on your feet so my feet do feel a little bit bruised and quite sore.
Highlights - staying in the pod was nice especially as it has a heater. So I turned it up and was lovely and warm!
Challenges - A bit of a flat day especially after leaving Abbie and Eve behind. The weather was grey skies & misty which didnāt really help
