Being back on Anglesey felt like being back on the mainland. The west side couldn't be more different to the east. Pancake-flat, not so many beaches, sunshine, and a tail wind made for easy, fast cycling. Quiet roads, a track through a forest, all lovely. As I started to head south east, I could see big mountains of Snowdonia on the horizon.
But I needed food. At Newborough, I had to settle for a milk shake and a banana as no cafes were open, but it worked for me. At 17:30 I made the rash decision to book an actual hostel, in Caernarfon, still 25 miles away. Rather unwillingly, I took a detour down to Menaifron on the south coast, and was greeted by my destination, Caernarfon, bathed in the evening sun, just across the Menai straits. I just needed to get to the bridge, and back, which was strait-forward as it turned out.

Excuse the brevity. It's late.
