Recent Walk 2

[Dan00001]

After a nightmare time with car troubles, breaking down and having to get a Travelodge for a night, we finally made it to West Wales for a short break away. On Thursday we had an hour down on the beach and set up the Lavvu. The weather forecast showed a chance of rain, and I was hoping that it would rain so we could sit in the Lavvu looking out at the rain over the sea but it remained dry.

On Friday, we walked to a beach a little further away. It's an easy walk along the coastline about 1.5 miles each way. We stopped for a pint and a packet of crisps and then we sat on the beach and fired up the Kelly Kettle for tea, hot chocolate and noodles. We were blessed with beautiful weather.

Apart from car troubles it sounds like you had a great time, thanks for sharing

Still having a great time. I managed to limp down here with a misfire in cylinder 3. Took to local garage and looking like it will be fixed Tuesday. We were supposed to go back today, but I'm secretly happy we get another couple of days here. Not looking forward to the repair bill, though.

I'm currently packing the backpack with Lavvu and Kettle to go down the beach.

Oh, I recognise that place! Lovely part of the coast!

 

[Broch]

Yep, part of our coastal stomping ground, beautiful area and usually quite quiet

I hope you get home safe and sound; sometimes it's the unplanned that make trips memorable

I have spent half of my life down here. I was born in South Wales but West Wales is my true home.

We've been blessed with great weather and we've had a wonderful time. We have been on the beach every day and I've been able to use the Kelly Kettle numerous times. Even my girlfriend has become a fan of it.

I'm ashamed. I don't know where that is. It looks familiar but I can't place it.

The first 3 photos is Aberporth and the others are of Tresaith, or the coastal path between Aberporth and Tresaith. The photo looking over the cliff edge is a little cove on the coastal path near Aberporth and is a popular place to jump from and it's (unofficial) name is 'Ogof'
