Hi everyone, it's now been more than a year since the last post in this thread, but rather than start a new one I thought I would revive this one. I am planning and packing for a walk along the Welsh Coast Path in July, starting from Chester and walking as far as we get before my friend has to go home again eighteen days later. We will be taking tents, mats and sleeping bags and one stove between us, not just for flexible sleeping but also because we are testing kit before our St Olav's Walk in Norway when time permits. Other than that just normal summer walking kit.
I went to Llandudno last weekend and picked up the official leaflets with simple maps for all the eight sections, plus I have ordered a guide book to read before I go. The official one was supposed to come out about now, but has been postponed until after our walk, unfortunately. I was told at the tourist office that most of the path was on tarmac and hard surfaces, so will probably be taking road running shoes rather than walking boots. And this being Wales, I am of course taking my
Altus.
If anyone has walked it, or the northern section(s) of it, and have tips on things to see, places to stop or stay, things to avoid or anything else we should know, please tell! I live on the Wirral but am not very familiar with the North Wales coast. We have also not decided yet whether to walk around Anglesey when we get to it, so any opinions on that would be great.
Thanks, Linda
