HOLYHEAD MOUNTAIN LOOP WALK VIA SOUTH AND NORTH STACKS DAY 5

Thursday 10th June  8 MILE HIKE IN FOG!

Not the most exciting day to walk. A foggy day with tons of wind! We drove to Holyhead and set off on a trail that seemed fine but sadly did not go according to map. After a few wrong turns and a couple of asks we got across the heather, fog bound inland area and arrived at South Stack Lighthouse. We walked down the 395 steps to the locked door before the bridge over to the island. What we should have seen was this:


This is our first view


it got bit better


and here is the ghost lighthouse if you look closely



Things didn't get much better as we went on to North Stack coastguard station

HERE I AM, I DID COME ON THIS HIKE!



OUR REWARD AT THE END OF A LULU OF A DAY!
