The Great Orme

Me and Ev went for a 6 miler around a huge lump of rock called The Great Orme. If you look at a map of the Uk it’s the little sticky out bit on the North Wales coast near the Island of Anglesea. It’s not far from where we live and we have entered a race that takes place there in February (The Nick Beer 10km). We had a great time. The first 3 miles is straight uphill but after that it’s down hill all the way so a PB is defianately up for grabs on race day.

It was very cold and that wind coming off the Irish Sea is bitter!

    Blimey it looks a bit chilly!
    I’m familiar with that part of the world – my grandad was from Llandudno & we have friends not far from Caernarvon.
    It always rains when we go to visit!

    An amazing route though, when I did it a few times earlier in the year I saw sunbathing cormorants and a few seals too!
