Caldey Island – Island Number 2
The caravan was out to good use again this weekend with a trip to Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Friday was a bit of a washout out as we ambled around Pembroke Town in the pouring rain, and so retired to the van to open a bottle of wine. No surprise there some of you might think.…

Skomer Island
I’ve wanted to visit Skomer Island for so long now, and finally we made it. In fact I’ve an ambition to visit all the islands around Wales. I’ve been to Anglesey, but that is too easy and so perhaps doesn’t really count. But Skomer is a real island. Skomer lies off the southern peninsula of…

Worms Head
The sun finally came out at the end of the weekend, and what a difference it made to the rain soaked weekend. Rhossili Bay has been voted as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the world, and when the sun shines as it did today you can really understand why. The views along the…

Children at play
Aunty has just bought a new camera that is able to take photos underwater for our up-coming holiday to Trinidad. So while we were at Cwm Nash Beach at the weekend we had to have a play and see how it worked. Despite my many offers to hold and guard her clothes, Aunty steadfastly refused…

Cliffs and Beaches
Todays quest was to find a beach, but we concentrated on the cliffs. There are some easy but spectacular walks along the Wales Coastal Path just to the west of Cardiff. We parked in a small car park next to a farm near to Monksnash, and I duly posted my £2 into the honesty box.…

Boring – but necessary? Portskewett to Redwick
The title says it all. After stating in a previous post that Aunty didn’t want to do any of the boring bits on the coastal path, I mistakenly persuaded her that the section from Portskewett to Redwick would be easy and at least we’d have walked most of the way from Chepstow to Newport. Well…

It all has to start somewhere
I suppose we can’t really be accused of being organised. Wales now has a single coastal path that goes all the way from Chepstow in the South East on the border with England, west, north and then east to Chester on the North East border with England. The total distance is 870 miles. If anyone…

Dunraven Bay
Today was a gentle walk along the coast at Dunraven Bay. Didn’t feel like going on a long march after a marathon journey back from Kuala Lumpur yesterday. I should have landed back in the UK in the morning, but the flight was delayed by 14 hours, and so I didn’t get back home until…

A day out to the seaside.
The weather wasn’t too bad when we woke up this morning. In fact for once it wasn’t raining, and the promised storm hadn’t yet arrived. So in our wisdom, and with a certain sense of adventure the decision was made to have a little trip to the sea side. I was even promised an ice…
