The Great Donut Debacle: A Llandudno Love Story

The salty tang of the sea mingled with the sweet aroma of Larry’s carefully procured treats as they strolled down Llandudno pier. Jessica, her eyes sparkling with delight, skipped a step ahead, her blonde hair catching the glint of the setting sun. Larry, a paper bag held protectively at chest level, puffed out his chest a little, revelling in the way his heart did a little jig whenever she…

The Llandudno Jaunt

Songs of San Francisco, 3x the magic charm; Scott Mackenzie serenades.

Sparkling in sunglass dimensions Walking along blue bay piers Packed with holiday travellers, Onlooking locals envy in disguise.

Birkenstock’ing higher, Catching Llandudno view points, Then hurdling down steep, Trying to catch rocky footing.

St John’s Wort Blooming in buttercup yellow, Dense brambles turning Fleshy soft berry melting in mouths.

Curving around the Parade, Gazing out at sapphire sea, Acquaintances in passing Appearing miniature-sized in sight.

Gusts of the morning propel Backsides into motion, Still hurdling forward.

Traipsing beige roams and lay-by seabirds, Remembering the morning greeting at the window — I take my four-mile-stride, Stretch it out to one mile bird’s eye.

Aching, blistering, bobbing on, I reach toward the final destination: Washington, my domed, antiquated beacon.

Posturing quite proudly in my stance, I check but twice for passing drive-by’s, The County welcoming me with its age of wear and tear. And so, I end my five-mile bend.

Is there anything you’d recommend in north Wales? I never really leave Scotland so I’ve no idea about it.

visit Llandudno, it's the tourism hub of north wales for a reason. there's the mines that offer tours, the alice in wonderland hunt, the trams and the cable cars, two different beaches, a pier with an arcade, an artificial ski slope, a lot of good shops, the great orme and little orme. if you've got your own transport i highly recommend visiting snowdonia national park and camping at the base of Snowdon in the summer.

conwy is also a lovely place, it's a seaside town built around its castle and has the uk's smallest house. i dont go there nearly half as much as I've been to Llandudno, mostly because its a pain to go on the buses. colwyn bay is a bit less pristine than the other two but the beach and prom are really nice and the shopping centre is decent with a market (dont expect much) every tuesday and Saturday. the beach in bae colwyn is sandy because a decade back they dredged it up from the ocean floor.

just whatever you do, do not go to rhyl. complete shithole. one of the uks lowest life expectancies. id cut off my own leg before foinf there willingly. I'm from the conwy county area (god forbid i doxx myself) so im biased towards it with tbe exception of rhyl. llanddulas doesn't have much to do in it (its an old people neighborhood, i lived there for 5 years and stayed inside the whole time), abergele has it's own beach + arcade area but you're better off going to Llandudno for a lot of things.

Day Seventy-two

Up early this morning, it's a long day ahead!

It's one of thise rare days where I have a specific destination in mind, so it's on to the supermarket in Queensferry to grab some handy provisions and get at it.

Starting off by jumping onto the busy A548, it's ploughing on through a few towns along the River Dee. It's a lot of slogging in busy traffic but not too many options for this stretch as the bike route proper follows this road, and the wind is starting to increase with the temperature.

At Baglit the cycle route heads up and over some big hills a little inland, so I say hell to that and keep cracking on at the road.

The road isn't exactly great fun, with lots of hedges and trees blocking the views, but finally we break through the foliage lining and emerge out to the coast at the Port of Mostyn.

Emerging from cover does mean the wind starts to become more noticeable, and a strong breeze is blustering down the coastline. But there is a great view back over the water to see the view of yesterday's ride.

Past Ffynnongoyw, there's a right turn and it's finally away from the traffic and on to some great riding around the cycle trails to Talacre Beach, before riding on through the dunes and across the golf course.

Hitting Prestatyn, we get some more nice promenade riding all the way down to Rhyl. Some stretches are alas under building work, so there's a little meandering involved to get around them whilst being slapped around by the wind.

Over the River Clwyd, there's more nice riding away from the traffic along the beaches, along with a good few more sections of construction work diversions. But the sun is shining and the view over to Colwyn Bay is very pretty.

Past the impressive sight of Gwyrch Castle on the hillside, I have a short stop to help someone out with a flat tyre. One thing I do enjoy with cycling is the camaraderie amongst riders and it's very common for others to check in that someone is ok or needs help if they're stationary.

Riding on, it's up some steeper sections up over the cliffsides, before yet more construction work sends me off on a diversion into Old Colwyn.

I've had enough with the promenade routes being constantly blocked off, so elect to say hell and stick back to the proper cycle route once more, which leads on through the busy Colwyn Bay and west alongside the expressway.

It's around some beautiful hills through this area before coming out at Llandudno Junction, and with the wind still battering around I take a break with a bit of shelter here. Today is some hard work!

Crossing over the River Conwy, I get to ride past the awesome Conwy Castle and have a lovely jaunt around the riverside whilst heading past Conwy, then it's back out to the sea as the path works its way past some impressive hills.

Past Penmaenmawr the cliffsides offer little space, and some interesting pathing is in place to sandwich a major dual carriageway, a rail line, and pedestrian & cycle access in all together, but somehow it's managed.

At Abergwyngregyn there's no other through road apart from the dual carriageway, so the route leads uo inti the foothills overhead, making for some lobg climbs and tiring work. It gives a nice view of Anglesey, but damn it's tough going.

Eventually it's downhill once more, crossing back over the expressway and zooming in to Bangor to check out their pier, and then riding up and around to the Menai Suspension Bridge.

Across the bridge and I'm on the island if Anglesey! Whilst I'm not riding around the entire island, I am making a stopoff at a place I've wanted to check out for maby years - Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch. With the evening wearing on, most other tourists are having dinner and I have no issues getting a photo done with the sign.

Not much further left today! Back to the bridge I ride, then it's a ride down the Menai Strait along to the historic castle town of Caernafon, with a nice ride past its beautiful castle.

A final push around the hills nearby and I eventually arrive at my destination for the day - the home of the wonderful Nerys! I have been given a lovely hot shower and a damn amazing steak, and have a few nights' R&R ahead to allow the back to heal up a bit more!

That's the entire damn north coast of Wales down in one day! I'm kinda shocked at myself, especially with the hideous headwind that has been causing so much extra effort, but I'll take it!

Have a good weekend!

Beach and pier, Llandudno

[mrdrummerman9015]

Take a long walk off a short pier? that works too I guess. either die from impact or die from drowning. There's a nice big one in Llandudno and there's a much shorter one in Rhos On Sea that was a bigger one but was removed as it was derelict and in a bad condition.

recently when im tempted to say 'i'm gonna kill myself' i try to correct it into saying "im gonna walk into the river and become a trout" or some other form of that. this is my new thing

Llandudno. 21 September 2024

This is the Grand Hotel and Pier at the western end of the sweeping promenade with the backdrop of the Great Orme. The Grand is trying to live up to its name but the half board dinner was awful , then there was the Abba tribute show . i paid an extra £ 20 for a sea view room but use of the balcony was forbidden during renovation. Llandudno was my favourite resort on our pier tour, Wetherspoon have brilliantly taken over the Palladium Theatre. The town is consistently pleasant unlike many which have gaps in the fabric and boarded uindows.

Conquering the Pier: A Love Story of Healing and Courage

The late afternoon sun painted the Llandudno pier in hues of blues and amber, yet the warmth did little to quell the icy dread that had settled in Lilly’s stomach. Each creak of the wooden planks underfoot, each splash of the waves against the pylons below, echoed the terrifying memory of a childhood trauma. “You’re doing so well, love,” Aaron’s reassuring voice was a low rumble beside her, his…
