A windy day to walk to Llanfairfechan

In theory this is the last stage of the Snowdonia Way. We ended up in Llanfairfechan, but the day after we went to Conwy to take the train back to London. Our day started of extremely windy and gray. Bethesda is arguably the ugliest town in Wales so don't bother to go there. It has a supermarket though, might you be in need of food. The walk is quite monotonous and you'll see many a sheep and stone walls where you can shelter yourself from the wind. The Snowdonia trail will lead you past Aber Falls, which is a nice waterfall. The last bit is really special since you will have to use your map and compass again to walk through the pastures, down to Llanfairfechan. We stayed at Min y Don B&B, which was a really nice place with a great English breakfast. After this stage, rest your legs and make your way back home. We took the train back from Conwy to Birmingham, Birmingham to London, London to Brussels!
