WHAT SIN A NAME?

Ynys = Island. Môn comes from Mona, which is a name that was given to the Island by the Romans. The Roman soldiers didn't like Mona very much. In fact your average battle-hardened Latin Dog Soldier was generally terrified of what lived on The Island - the Druids.

But when it came to finally attacking and conquering Mona, they discovered that the it wasn't the Druids that terrified them, it was their women. Let that be a warning to any wanton visitors who fancy trying to conquer our Island ladies.

The glorious Coastal Path traipses around almost all of the island's coast and many of you have walked at least a good portion of its length.

Recently, I had a conversation with one of the people from Menter Môn who created the path and it appears that it as extended the visitor season almost all-year round.

Whatever the weather you will always find someone walking along some length of the path, as hikers, amblers or naturalists. That's Naturalists and not Naturists, in case some of you get some daft ideas in your heads.

For best surf conditions on the Eastern Coast again wait a few days for a NNE wind to build up and then head for Lligwy.
