Tuesday 14th September 2021 Today was the last day of this walking session and, having put in some extra miles over the last couple of days, we will complete the walk today and not have to put in half a day’s walk tomorrow. We returned to Kidwelly and parked down at the old quay whereContinue reading “Day 131 – Kidwelly to Carmarthen 14.5 miles 1679′ ascent”

Monday 13th September 2021 Today’s walk was originally going to be about 13 miles but having walked 2 miles of it last night we have reduced it to about 10.5 miles so we will try and walk into Kidwelly which is an additional 10 miles. The reason being that once we get into Pembrey CountryContinue reading “Day 130 – Bynea to Kidwelly 21 miles”

Sunday 12th September 2021 We drove to Bynea and left our car there and then Andy drove us plus his dog, Cerys, to Llanmadoc where we finished yesterday. We walked back up the track to where the path runs down Whitesands and we walked right up to the tip before turning about 300 degrees toContinue reading “Day 129 – Llanmadoc to Bynea 20.2 miles 1478′ ascent”

Saturday 11th September 2021 The weather forecast was for a slightly grey day but fortunately the forecast was overly pessimistic. We drove to Llanmadoc and left our car in the car park there and then Andy drove us on to Oxwich which is only about 6 miles by road but would be 19 miles aroundContinue reading “Day 128 – Oxwich to Llanmadoc 19.2 miles 2668’ascent”

Friday 10th September 2021 Andy dropped us off at the Park and Ride in Swansea to resume our walk. We followed the way-markers down to the Prince of Wales Dock. This dock was devoid of yachts though just as we were leaving the vicinity some chaps were launching several identical dinghies and so I imagineContinue reading “Day 127 – Swansea to Oxwich 20.1 miles 2590′ ascent”

Thursday 9th September 2021 Andy dropped us back at Rest Bay (Porthcawl) at 8am which gave us a good, early start and him time to get back to join other volunteers of the Swansea Canal Society on their regular Tuesday working party restoring a stretch of the Swansea Canal. The society was awarded the Queen’sContinue reading “Day 126 – Porthcawl to Swansea 22 miles 875′ ascent”

Wednesday 8th September 2021 We left Swansea in convoy with Andy and left our car at Rest Bay. Andy then drove us on to Nash Point so we could resume the walk. Fortunately today was a few degrees cooler than yesterday and there was high cloud.  The walk from Nash Point was very pleasant thoughContinue reading “Day 125 – Nash Point to Rest Bay (Porthcawl) 16.3 miles 1577′ ascent”

Tuesday 7th September 2021 We had a slight change to our plans today because Andy was quite insistent on helping out by driving us back to Barry Docks and us dropping off our car for the return journey on the way. This was great as it saved us walking into Llantwitt Major (1.5 miles) toContinue reading “Day 124 – Barry Docks to Nash Point 19 miles 1820 ‘ ascent”

Monday 6th September 2021 We started our next walking session today. We drove down to Penarth and parked readily on Clive Place and were on the coast path almost immediately. The air-con in the car was giving us a false sense of what the weather was like because when we got out we almost fell overContinue reading “Day 123 – Penarth to Barry Docks 9 miles 545′ Ascent”

Tuesday 31st August 2021 Today is the last day of this leg of our walk. We decided it would be good to put in a short walk to get us to the far side of Cardiff in readiness for the next section which will be all the way round to Carmarthen. So today’s walk wasContinue reading “Day 122 – Cardiff to Penarth 6.4 miles 405′ ascent”
