While the Anglesey/Dublin route is the 'usual' route between Dublin and North Wales, the Llyn Peninsula makes a good launch point as it juts out into the Irish Sea.
Though the route is a little shorter at around 45 nm this is still a serious challenge, the impressive scenery of the Llyn Peninsula being tempered by the challenging tidal flows around the end of the Peninsula and Bardsey Island.

Notes
Justine Curgenven / Barry Shaw (01-Jan-09)The crossing by Justine and Barry surely takes the record for the earliest in a New Year, and perhaps the coldest?
