Seal Spotting at Angel Bay
5 years since a still memorably wet walk on Great Orme. Might as well tick off its smaller brother at the promenade's other end, Little Orme.

Three things that appeal to the walker;
1 - Views - over Llandudno bay and Snowdonia's mountains.

| A second climb to Mynydd Pant for Snowdonia Views |
2 - Wildlife - As we drop down through the quarry works, we can see a collection of people peering over the edge or what transpires to be Angel Bay. I'd already noticed Google Maps had the location mapped as "Seal Pupping Seasons - Sep-Oct". Sure enough, big black ones in the water and on the shore and smaller white pups. If only they didn't blend into the rocks, which Mrs M suggested should be painted dayglo to offer some contrast.

3) Breakfast - Walk over and the nearby Coast Cafe offers sandwich baps. But look closer on the "Other Section" on the menu. A Full Welsh. Regardless of nationality, do hash browns have any place on a breakfast? Who knows, but the coffee was the finest tasted.
