TUESDAY AUGUST 5TH

SO WE WOKE UP AT 7:30AM AND ATE BREAKFAST AND WENT OUT TO THE ISLE OF ANGLESEY THAT IS SEPERATED BY A STRIP OF SEA CALLED THE MENAI STRAIGHT.
WE WENT TO A PORT SOUTH OF HOLYHEAD TO DO SOME SEA LEVEL TRAVERSING WHICH INVOLVED US SCALING THE SEA WALL AND HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE. I HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING I HAD EVER DONE AND IT WAS A HUGE CHALLENGE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY FOR ME AND SOME OF THE KIDS.
AFTER LUNCH WE DID MORE SEA TRAVERSING AND THE GUIDE DIDN'T REALIZE TILL IT WAS TOO LATE THAT HIGH TIDE HAD COME IN. SO IT BECAME A BIT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO CONTINUE AND IN THE END WE HAD TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF INTO THE IRISH SEA AND SWIM ACROSS THE COVE AND FINISH THE HIKE AND TREK BACK TO THE VAN. WE GOT BACK ABOUT 5PM AND WE WERE POOPED.( SOME SAY IT WAS 15FT OR SO BUT I BELIEVE MY FEAR FACTOR RATED IT AT 20FT OR HIGHER.) I CHOSE THE HIGHER HEIGHT BECAUSE IF I WAS GOING TO DO IT I WAS GOING TO DO IT IN A BIG WAY. I HOPE THE PICTURES TURN OUT BUT THERE IS ONE OF ME JUMPING OFF THE CLIFF. I HAVE PROFF! I WON'T GET THE PICTURES BACK TILL SATURDAY.
