but the car park is the first right turn directly after the Bulkeley Arms
Just for clarification, is the car park the first right after the Bulkeley Arms as you drive along the A545 towards Beaumaris?

He showed great interest in my camera, so I kitted him out with my old *istD and a Tamron 35-90mm lens (my most expendable gear) and turned him loose.
He was very enthusiastic, took about 400 shots in two days and was keen to know why some images were blurred, some dark etc.
Some of his images are here

Hi Mike
Again this may later depending on the weather and the wishes of participants, but here is the plan I am hatching so far.
1. Meet up, location near the Menai Walk or other potential bridge, scenery shooting locations.
2. Eat - location not yet known but usually a popular option.
3. Head for Newborough Forest for the Squirrels and other wildlife in that area
4. Llanddwyn Bay and Island
5. Possibly Aberffraw bay as well.
It may be worth having a later start for a later finish with a sunset to be caught for the late hanger on or two or just making it a full day (early to late)
Of course I am willing to alter at the requests of others and will continue to look into this.
Regards
Stu
One obvious meeting place is the layby between the two bridges on the Anglesey side of the straits. (cross Britannia Bridge, turn right towards Menai Bridge and its almost immediately on your right).
It's a good place for photographing the Menai Bridge and there is lots of space for cars.
Llanddwyn Island sounds good, but access around high tide might be difficult. Late afternoon should be fine.

On the 14th June, there is a full spring tide at around 12:20 in the Straits (varies a bit depending on location).
