The signs are very misleading, such a shame.<br />My beach pitch was just to the west of Aberdaron, a small patch of nice flat grass right next to the footpath - it was just big enough for one tent.<br />I'll go back again but to a different section. Probably next year now.John Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569413172924501491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823691391050130839.post-73297644396112411082017-09-06T12:01:14.768+01:002017-09-06T12:01:14.768+01:00I love the Llyn and we were there the same time as...I love the Llyn and we were there the same time as you (at Towyn Farm near Tudweiliog). The coast path is indeed poorly signposted in places and a few areas with clearly less than accommodating landowners. Its a superb bit of coast though.

Funny yo...Thanks for your kind comments Stephie :-)<br />Funny you should mention Wales without mountains, the original plan was to backpack inland Lleyn, it was only when I got there and saw the beautiful coastline... reminiscent of the Pembrokeshire coastline and the SWCP.<br />It's seriously lovely, so much so that I'm going back with some friends in September to do more of the coastline.
