Llyn Peninsula

Overview

The second leg of his journey takes Sean along the Llyn Peninsula in north west Wales. Sean starts his journey at Bangor where he joins the crew of 1930s sailing ship the Vilma to help steer her down the Menai Strait. This narrow stretch of water separates Anglesey from North Wales and has a reputation for being one of the world's most treacherous passages to navigate, with the notorious 'Swellies', a maze of shallow rocks and whirlpools lurking under the surface.
