I currently have two routes under review, a figure of 8 option consisting of 5 mile circular route from the car park to Bon Y Maen, returning to the car and a 3 mile leisurely walk into the Marina using the coastal path with a return on the cycle path. The second option is to explore additional paths in the Bon Y Maen area to make 8 mile walk. Phone me after Thursday and I will update you of the final decision.
