Anglesey's Welly Walkers were blessed with gorgeous weather on an educational outing to the beautiful island of Llanddwyn during the Whitsun holiday organised by the county's Farmers' Union of Wales office.
A crowd of 90 adults and children gathered in the main car park before dividing into two groups with one group aiming for the island through the forest and the others via the beach.
Whilst ambling, the children were taught about their environment and their surroundings before heading back for a picnic spread. ASDA Llangefni had kindly donated the majority of the food towards the picnic and ASDA community co-ordinator Val Higgott joined the walkers.
Menter Iaith also took part and promoted the Welsh language to those present by helping to identify objects through the medium of welsh.
FUW Anglesey county executive officer Heidi Williams said: “The weather and the location was perfect for this event. We all walked for miles and I'm grateful to the parents and grandparents that took part in encouraging their children and grandchildren to explore the outdoors and discover our countryside.”
This was the second Welly Walk recently organised with the first at the Dingle Nature Reserve in Llangefni. Names have already been put forward for the next which the FUW hopes will be held in conjunction with the National Trust early in the Autumn.
Anyone interested in joining that walk should contact Heidi at FUW 01248 750250.
