Nash Point
Taking a walk over the Christmas break was a challenge. Not because we were so busy, but because of the awful weather. It’s been raining here non stop for the past month, not as bad here as further north, but enough to create a “cabin fever” atmosphere at home. Then finally it stopped raining on…

Keep away from the edge
Its been quite on the travels front, work and weather getting in the way. But after almost a month being tethered to the house because of the storms and rain we escaped today. The weather forecast for the coast was windy, cloudy but no rain. But the rain was lashing down against the windows this…

Secret Coves and Bays
I’ve been a bit distracted lately but a few weeks ago Aunty and I (or is it me) spent the August Bank Holiday down West Wales again. The weather as usual on a Bank Holiday was not perfect, but at least it didn’t rain, so we went for a walk along the Wales Coastal Path…

Mwnt. Welsh 100 – No 34
Wales has many roads. A few are wide, fast and classed as motorways. Many are are ordinary bidirectional truck roads with bends and corners, Wales does corners exceptionally well. But we have even more single track roads that lead to secret places. The narrow single track road to Mwnt leads you down a lane with…

Dolphin Spotting. Welsh 100 – No 33
A couple of weekends ago we stayed in West Wales for a long weekend. Now the Cambrian Coast is a good spot for walking, sitting on beaches and chilling, but it is also a great place to go and try and see some Dolphins and seals. Now Aunty has a weak spot for dolphins and…

A honey ice cream at Aberaeron. Welsh 100 – No 31
Well according to the TV today was supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far. Almost every 10 minutes there are reporters and medical experts telling us how to take care of ourselves to prevent heat stroke and dehydration. All I can say with any certainty is that is was defiantly not…

Afon Glaslyn from the Cob at Porthmadog
As we were driving around during the Easter weekend explorations we had to go into Porthmadog to get some much needed food supplies to prevent starvation in the caravan. This meant we had to cross the Cob, an embankment that encloses Treath Mawr. This was built to allow the allow drainage of the land behind…

Bridge Over The River Mawddach: Welsh 100 – No 22
Still catching up with all the activity Aunty and I managed to get through over the Easter Weekend. We have certainly pegged up the list for the Welsh 100s. Easter Sunday was a day for bridges, rivers and fantastic views. There are a number of bridges that cross over the Afon Mawddach, but today we…

Palaeontologists for the day – but don’t give up the day job.
The weather this morning can only be described as dull, dull and very dull. Oh yes and cold! Whatever happened to spring? Aunty had thebrainwave this morning and suggested we pretend to be palaeontologists and search for dinosaur footprints on Sully Beach. Not quite Jurassic Park, but exotic in its own way. We wrapped up…

Three Cliffs Bay
36 hours ago I was in South Africa coping with temperatures in excess of 30C. Today the temperature was 6C but the sun was shining. A great day for a walk along the coast at Three Cliffs Bay. This is Aunty’s favourite and in the summer it is a great place for the day. The…
