Sunday 14th November 2021 Today was the first day for months that we have had a cooked breakfast at a B&B before walking. Our host is very happy to provide a 7am breakfast even on a Sunday. He said that, because the trains weren’t running, he had been getting up to provide one guest withContinue reading “Day 151 – Tywyn to Llanaber 17.5 miles 1978’ ascent”

Saturday 13th November 2021 We checked out of the Premier Inn at Aberystwyth (Premier Inns have previously served us well but since they stopped servicing the rooms at all because of Covid but still charge rates as if they were, Jill in particular has looked forward to checking out much more than checking in) andContinue reading “Day 150 – Machynlleth to Tywyn 17.2 miles 2580’ascent”

Friday 12th November 2021 Today turned into something of a surprise. The plan was to walk from the hotel in Aberystwyth to Glandyfi Castle a few miles short of Machynlleth. We awoke to a windy outlook from our room overlooking the seafront. Every so often a squall of rain lashed the windows of our roomContinue reading “Day 149 Aberystwyth to Machynlleth 20.2 miles 2500’ ascent”

Thursday 11th November 2021 Today was to be a fairly straight walk up the coast with only one river estuary, requiring a walk inland of about three quarters of a mile. Leaving Aberaeron, we followed the promenade until it gave way to a pebble bank and then became a grassy path between field margins andContinue reading “Day 148 – Aberaeron to Aberystwyth 17.5 miles 1772’ ascent”

Wednesday 10th November 2021 We are staying at a super self-catering cabin in Llangoedmor. Our hosts are Katerina and her mountain guide partner, Mark.  It has suited us perfectly. Chatting to Katerina last night about our walk, she said she was really keen to help us on our ”adventure” and very kindly offered to toContinue reading “Day 147 – Penbryn to Aberaeron 17.4 miles 3200’ ascent”

Tuesday 9th November 2021 Now that the clocks have changed, we need to start our day’s walk early each morning so that we finish before dark. We drove into Cardigan and parked in the Gloster Row car park which was accessed via such really narrow lanes that we thought Mrs Google was leading us astray.Continue reading “Day 146 – Cardigan to Sarnau 17.6 miles 2464’ ascent”

Thursday 14th October 2021 Today was just a short day. We have a little over eight miles to walk into Cardigan where we are ending this walking session and then driving straight home. We packed up the car and drove to Ceibwr Bay where there are just a small number of parking spaces. We crossedContinue reading “Day 145 – Ceibwr Bay to Cardigan 8.9 miles 2013’ ascent”

Wednesday 13th October 2021 We decided to park at Moylgrove (just inland from Ceibwr Bay) near the finish of our walk and get a taxi back to Pwllgwellod.  That meant we didn’t start walking until about 9:40. The day was pretty damp with the cloud sitting close to the cliff tops and a steady heavyContinue reading “Day 144 – Pwllgwaelod to Ceibwr Bay 15.6 miles 3077’ ascent”

Tuesday 12 October 2021 We parked at Pwll Deri. The Youth Hostel is currently closed and only available for private lettings which seems a bit of a poor do for a youth hostel. Though it was dry it was cloudy with a steady breeze so it fell quite cool. We walked in our fleeces toContinue reading “Day 143 – Pwll Deri Youth Hostel  to  Pwllgwaelod (Dinas Isle) 15.7 miles 3497’ ascent”

Monday 11th October 2021 We parked just where we had parked yesterday outside the Perennial Nursery and café and walked our way back to the coast, this time along the farm drive, which was just over a mile. The day clear, still and sunny and in no time we were walking in just shirt sleeves.Continue reading “Day 142 – Treleidr to Pwll Deri 17.3 miles 4885’ ascent”
