return to list Mona and Parys Mines, Anglesey

We met up at Parys Mountain in bright sunshine at about 10. There were four in the party: Allan, Helen, Jane and Nigel and we drove up to the Parys Footway entrance and changed quickly. It's ony a short walk to Mona Footway and we were soon in and just as soon lost! Well, not really lost, just a bit uncertain of the exact route. We went up and down in Mona with a joint leadership effort from Allan, Helen and Jane and some memories of another visitor's opinion on certain climbs on a previous trip (thanks S**). Eventually, we felt we were deep enough again having gone up and down several times and a short cold wade through waist-deep water brought us to the bottom of the Parys Footway. We didn't hang around on the way out going more or less non-stop to the entrance where we were able to change out of the wet kit in warm sunshine. Overall trip time just under 4 hours. After, Nigel and Jane had a wander round the mountain photographing the amazing coloured rock before we set off home. Thanks Helen and Allan for arranging and leading the trip - well worth it.
