Tom I don't think you will get away with your wild camping down there There is 120miles of coastline along the Llyn Peninsula and I bet you cannot park overnight any where bar a camp site

What a splendid place to go to, and where the google maps photo was taken is on a point of land which lies between Morfa Nefyn and Nefyn, and of the two I am most familiar with Nefyn, and there is a road down to Nefyn Beach which is known locally has 'Screw Road' although it does have a Welsh name, and at the top of Screw Road before you steeply descend to the beach, there is a cliff path which runs parallel with the beach and as go along there is another path which leads down to the beach, coming out in front of the 1960s built, and totally out of place flat roofed property, at the top the cliff path continues on to the point of land in your posted photo Tom, and I think the path may carry on then to Morfa Nefyn.

A drive down and up Screw Road, to which about halfway down there are toilets if yoo need to have a pee or a poo LINK









On the beach in Morfa Nefyn there is a pub and a lifeboat station

Golden Bear, according to The Rules of this board, politics shouldn't be discussed, but they are, ad nauseum.

So how did you enjoy Welsh Wales, I presume it was packed with holiday makers, it being this time of the year

The weather kept them away, Only the die hard venture out in Wales when the wind blows the tent and the rain batters the fold away rain coat which , is a must have to the, ' I'm having a trip even if it kills me' breed of tourist of which, I'm a paid up member,

I did the coastal walking path, Its a cliff top path that goes for quite a distance in and out of the coves and there is access to some of the beaches and its common to sea seals on them, Gulls are everywhere and other wildlife too, At one point I was fishing a river inlet to the sea and a passerby asked, " is there any fish in there?" I said, " I dunno but my thinking is, A river to a fish is a road, and this fish road is to the seaside So I'm guessing there will be fish heading for the sea", I did't catch anything but enjoyed the time trying,

Glad you enjoyed your trip, Tom. Pity the weather didn't hold out, but this is England after all.

In my younger days in Nefyn I would wander over the rock pools at low tide, and in the abundance of marine life in them, I once found quite a large stranded Dogfish, which I suppose is a small shark, and the beach was full of crabs, fishermen would return with bucket loads of Mackerel, which weren't quite dead, and on a few occasions I went by boat up the coast to a place which was known has Bird Rock for obvious reasons, and it were full of Puffins and other types of birds

Yes Mollie its been a wicked year for sunny days but, according to the news the jet stream has lifted above England and that will mean the warm air is coming, My Son coming from Canada on the 1st of August so, I would be rude of me to take off with him here so, I'll have to stay put until he goes home and You just watch it slip back down again when he's gone,,
