Yep, I&#8217;m still negotiating Anglesey in my attempt to run around Wales, but I&#8217;m now coming down it&#8217;s eastern side and will soon be heading back to the mainland. Today was going to be a difficult one though. It wasn&#8217;t too far at close to 18 miles and the terrain didn&#8217;t look too tough, but I had something of an ankle injury. It&#8217;s been sore after my last few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/category\/coast-path\/\">coast path runs<\/a> but has generally been feeling better after a weeks relative rest and has held up for the run itself. This week though it was still sore on Monday night. I was fairly certain that it was going to cause problems. I probably shouldn&#8217;t have gone for the run but the forecast was ideal and I have a long way to go so need to tick off the miles.<\/p>\n<p>The drive up was once again nice and quick. It was dark most of the way with starry skies. I parked in Amlwch, got kitted up and headed off past the little harbour and out onto the cliff-top path. The sun was just rising up over the horizon as I set off.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23103\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23103\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234.jpg\" alt=\"Rising Sun\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3234-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-23103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rising Sun<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The path soon became typical coast path. Rocky, slippery, twisty and uppy-downy too. I was having to concentrate on foot placement in the early morning light but my pace was steady as I made my way through the bracken covered cliff tops. The path dropped down to little bridges over tumbling streams every now and then all the while clinging to the cliffs above a fairly calm sea.

They scattered when I came along and then ran around the field in a haphazard manner for a while before heading off to the far corner. The path then took me along a \u00a0few tracks and out onto a small road through some farms and a little hamlet. It then headed back downhill to emerge on the shores of Traeth Dulas. This is a large sand and shingle bay in which a large hulk of a ship was resting. The path along its northern shore was wet but passable as I made my way through the rushes and on towards a footbridge.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-23132 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"53\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249-200x53.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Traeth Dulas\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249-200x53.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249-500x132.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249-720x190.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3249.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23112'>\n\t\t\t\tTraeth Dulas\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Traeth Dulas\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3248.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23111'>\n\t\t\t\tTraeth Dulas\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Footpath Sign\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3250.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23113'>\n\t\t\t\tFootpath Sign\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The footbridge took me over the Afon Goch which spills out into Traeth Dulas and then uphill through yet more wet grass before emerging briefly out onto the A5025.

It was also a lovely day for being on the coast path. The pain did however soon reduce me to walking. It still hurt with every step I took, but it was nowhere near the agony of running. I therefore decided to continue on but to walk most of the way. Maybe the pain would ease later and I&#8217;d be able to pick up the pace again?<\/p>\n<p>The village of Moelfre was quiet, but it was only 9:30am as I made my way through it&#8217;s streets and back out onto the coast path. The village is dominated by it&#8217;s lifeboat station and various commemorative statues and plaques to lifeboat men. Looking back at it from the coast path the village was bigger than I thought.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-23132 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Moelfre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3267.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23121'>\n\t\t\t\tMoelfre\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Statue\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3265.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23120'>\n\t\t\t\tStatue\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Moelfre Lifeboat Station\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3263.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23119'>\n\t\t\t\tMoelfre Lifeboat Station\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262-200x194.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"RNLI Flag\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262-200x194.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262-494x480.jpg 494w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262-720x700.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3262.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23118'>\n\t\t\t\tRNLI Flag\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>On I went, now walking but trying to keep the pain at bay.
