A shorter walk today after yesterday’s efforts. This was again going across country to reach the coast again.A lot of the time was walking along sunken country lanes so the hedge tops were about 3 feet above my head. This means you end up plodding along a narrow lane with no views to the side…

Having had a good rest a Burry Port the next question was, where next? The path turns inland here to Carmarthen and there was no accommodation on the path until Carmarthen. Thus I was left with a 25 mile walk. As a further problem the walk was not going to be a flat bimble round…

First, but not I suspect last, wet day of the walk. The walk was round the estuary to Burry Port and was so nice and flat.The Llanelli wetlands were not looking very promising , the rain was coming down and a high sea wall blocked the view.Then there was a loud burst of bird song…

Opened the flaps of my tent to be showered with ice which had frozen there during the frosty night. As I looked out onto the sunlit beach I saw six wild Welsh ponies enjoying themselves cantering up the beach, pretending they were on the Camargue.A truly amazing moment. Can’t buy them.Then it was a trek…

Blogs will be coming once I hit some Wi-Fi!!!

A long walk round part of the Gower not helped by Sand dunes and a flight of about 150 steps at Oxwich. The views were spectacular including a view of the Brecon beacons. Also the north coast of Devon is starting to fade now, odd to think I could be there in about 10 months.I…

Nice quiet day 7.4 miles to Mumbles, enlivened by a footbridge being closed in Swansea so a trip round the docks was needed to get back on track. I avoided the snow apart from a few flakes which causes great excitement as I passed the primary school. The Gower awaits

Had to do 29 miles over the next two days so obviously split that into 23 miles on the first day and 6 on the second. 😞This was due to where hotels were available and as I’d had a rest day, I thought I’d give it a try.It went quite well with just under 10…

Just a report for week one. 8 days walking (long week 🙂 ) 125 miles done. 100 miles of the Welsh Coastal path. So far so good.
