Saturday morning we met Adan who would be our instructor for the weekend. Adan soon got us involved by providing resources including OS maps of North Wales, Anglesey and Holyhead. He also provided us with the weekend weather and tide.
We decided on the Ormes.
All in all, a great trip with lots of sea bird and seal sightings…
