Bangor to Porthmadog, the Llŷn. This 110 mile section is chunked into 9
suggested days of walking. The other 760 miles of the path are chunked into 68

It looks
good, both the path and the book, with a solid feel to it. Stiff covers with
folds to tuck you into the relevant pages. There is nothing superficial and
glossy about the book which is well researched and written without superfluous
adjectives. Photos are stunning and taken at idyllic times just in case you don’t
get to experience them in the finest of weather!
The content
is well laid out with enough but not too much detail. Lots of pointers to where
you can get further information about a story or on practical matters such as
where to stay or how to book a boat to Bardsey. The maps are enhanced Ordnance Survey and
there should be no excuses for getting lost.
The book is
the creation of Carl Rogers and Tony Bowerman and is published by Northeren Eye Books. The presence
of a Natural Resources Wales logo suggests some degree of sponsorship from the
government body that created the Wales Coast Path.
If you would
like to know more about the creation of the Wales Coast Path there was a
brilliant article in edition 45 of Natur Cymru written by Jane Davidson, the
minister who conceived and delivered the project. You can read this online here.
