A brief stop in Moelfre.
The wind has been nasty, crossing Red Wharf Bay was brutal. This morning the conditions were intimidating, this afternoon I took a battering - not a day to answer the phone.

Going to push on a little further now but options are limited - I still do not know when I'll finish. I'm scratching and fighting for each mile, constantly planning (and reviewing) on the fly.
If the wind drops it will be within a day, if it doesn't it could be any time in the next month!
From the first days of the trip the wind has made things frustrating and unpredictable, it continues to do so right until the end it appears.

Be careful camping overnight, John. I heard the locals on that island are a rough bunch!

Best wishes,

Danny

Waiting up to hear how you've got on, much to the wife's dismay! Good luck John, you'll have earned a rest when you're done for sure.
