Beaumaris Pier

Today we started our walking holiday on the Anglesey Coastal Path. No walking today - just a pleasant train journey along the North Wales coast to Bangor where were picked up and driven to our hotel in Beaumaris.

We had a couple of hours to explore Beaumaris this afternoon and fortunately the promised rain did not put in an appearance. It was incredibly windy though for a day in June.

I have chosen this photo looking along the newly refurbished Beaumaris pier for my blip today. I like the contrast between the sun shining on the pier and the heavy clouds looming over Snowdonia. The Menai Straits don't often look this choppy.
