Anglesey February 2014

Just back from an excellent 2 days on Anglesey NW Wales paddling the Menai Straits and also had a days relaxed rockhopping at Moelfre on the NE coast of Anglesey, I was kindly invited over by Ken and Fi and we were fortunate to be lead for the 2 days by Jim Krawiecki along with Ken Oliver we couldnt be in safer hands as part of this trip we had the privilege of a tour around the Rockpool Kayaks factory at Holyhead very close to our accommodation at the outdoors centre  will stay here again very affordable and everything you could need

Trearddur Bay below looked an awesome place in these sea conditions and I would have loved a paddle here but the group wasn’t up to this level just yet
