Sunday 10th October 2021 Today Jill’s brother, Andy, his wife Sue and dogs, Anna and Cerys, are coming up from Swansea to meet us on the walk somewhere near Whitesands which will be about 12 miles from our start and possibly a bit too far for it to be a lunch stop but it dependsContinue reading “Day 141 – Solva Harbour to Treleidr 18.9 miles 3848’ ascent”

Saturday 9th October 2021 We parked in the car park at St Bride’s and set off. It was a warm day even at 08:30 and we were in shirt-sleeves from the start. The path stayed true to the coast starting with a short tidal section which fortunately was passable despite a relatively high tide. ThereafterContinue reading “Day 140 – St. Brides to Solva 17.3 miles 3400’ ascent”

Friday 9th October 2021 This morning, having packed up at the cottage in Burton Ferry, we drove to Dale and parked in the car park behind the beach. The sky was overcast with low cloud and mist but it was quite warm. We followed the low cliff around to St Anne’s Head. Peninsulas being asContinue reading “Day 139 – Dale to St Brides 15.5 miles 2477’ ascent”

Thursday 7th October 2021 Today we awoke to low cloud or mist. Cleddau bridge was only just visible. From Cleddau bridge we followed the A477 until it crossed Westfield Pill when we could get off the main road. Then we wound around the coast and the small roads and through the Dragon Liquefied Natural GasContinue reading “Day 138 – Burton Ferry to Dale 18.5 miles 1653’ ascent”

Wednesday 6th October 2021 Since we would be finishing today’s walk right by the cottage we are renting, we got a taxi to the start of the walk at Angle. Quite by chance, the first cab firm I phoned was one that didn’t do school contract work and could do the trip; in rural partsContinue reading “Day 137 – Angle to Burton Ferry 16.6 miles 1571’ ascent”

Tuesday 5th October 2021 We drove to Bosherston and parked in the National Trust car park. This was sort of day when we felt the world was against us. As we drove to Bosherston a tree fell across the road just in front of us; a few seconds later and it would have landed onContinue reading “Day 136 – Bosherston to Angle 15.8miles 1282’ ascent”

Monday 4th October 2021 We drove to Tenby and parked in the Beach car park as yesterday. From there we enjoyed a walk along the length of Tenby South Beach as far as Penally. We then had a short climb to the cliff tops and came to the Penally Ranges. I had checked on the government websiteContinue reading “Day 135 – Tenby to Bosherston 18 miles 2700’ ascent”

Sunday 3rd October 2021 This morning we woke to high winds but it was dry. We drove to Tenby and left the car in the South Beach car park and got a taxi back to last night’s finishing point at Plashett. As we left the taxi we were treated to a brief shower. Fortunately we alreadyContinue reading “Day 134 – Plashett (Laugharne) to Tenby 16 miles 2772’ ascent”

Saturday 2nd October 2021 Last night I decided that the best plan for today was to drive to Carmarthen and take a taxi to Llansteffan and we could then get a bus back to Carmarthen at the end of the walk. So, for maximum efficiency, I decided to book a taxi tonight to meet usContinue reading “Day 133 – Llansteffan to Plashett (Nr Laugharne) 17.5 miles 2300’ ascent”

Friday 1st October 2021 We left Cumbria soon after 7:15am to drive to Carmarthen. The weather was atrocious and typically some drivers were driving much too fast with no lights on. Despite that we made it to Wrexham, by which time the rain had abated. We called in at a petrol station which had petrolContinue reading “Day 132 – Carmarthen to Llansteffan 8.7 miles 900′ ascent”
