New Coast and Llanddwyn Island

[Major Catastrophe]

After watching the first part of the new series of coast, I will never see Llanddwyn Island in the same light again.

Why? Missed it.

 

[Major Catastrophe]

A bit complicated to explain, but the island is mini geological plate, with numerous strata of different rock including old lava pillows caused by underwater lava flows.

You'll have to check it on iPlayer.

Have to go, Dr Alice Roberts is trying to seduce me.

Hopefully they will just send Alice Roberts to our next pee up instead.

A huge variety of rock structures around Anglesey. There are Basalt rocks "pillars" like the Giant's Causeway in Nothern ireland in beween Trearddur Bay and Porthdafarch. The recent "improvements" in the Trearddur Bay sea defences have resulted in beach erosure and the exposure of ancient buried forest ; the size of the tree trunks is quite amazing!

Does anyone know anything about the wall half way down the mountainside beween the breakwater in Holyhead and North Stack? Just above "Porth Newydd", = New Port.

Forgive her Major.....she is only human

 

[Kawasaki]

Forgive her Major.....she is only human

Yes
But I believe She is working on a Degree in Anatomy.
Combined with that Quall and Her knowledge of all things ancient
She could do wonders for the Majors knees!

No idea about that, but it's clearly built in 2 stages, halfway down with no apparent function or path to it. Wartime defence / observation post maybe?

Booger! Missed it. The whole area though was hugely volcanic, with the Snowdon range being some of the oldest (obviously extinct) volcanoes on Earth - about 4Bn years old.

I'll see it on i-Player. Thanks for the tip off.

Yes we should have an honourable mention at least!

I have now ........a thinking mans sex symbol, no doubt.

Beauty and brains, good luck with the expedition.

I went off her when she dyed her hair that ludicrous bright red. I prefer Julia Bradbury.

 

[Major Catastrophe]

Her orange period was particularly striking.

But, to be fair, she had her variously coloured red hair from her first TV appearance and has now gone natural.
