'Lone View' Caernarfon Bay

Amazingly, after doing a quick walk to Llanddwyn Island this afternoon before Jani started another night shift on a busy Covid ITU ward, I did an absolute blast up Moel Eilio straight after to catch elusive sunshine promised for hours earlier.

I went from van to peak & back in 1hr 15 and lost 50 litres of perspiration doing so, only to see the huge ball of sunshine drop below the clouds before dropping further behind a massive band of cloud on the horizon!

It was just wonderful to be alone on the summit as sunset disappeared and a bitter dusk drew around me. I refused to use my headtorch on the way down, revelling instead in my night vision under a half moon
