I think St David's has to be one of my favourite places so far, next to Manobier and Solva. It was a busy little town, but not too busy at the same time, if that makes sense! There were a lot of interesting shops and things to look at, and then of course, there was St David's Cathedral and the Bishop's palace. The Cathedral dates back to 1181when the original monastery was rebuilt. It has so many chapels, and other sections, a bit of a maze at times, but just magnificent, if you like architecture - and old stuff :) Edmund Tudor has his tomb in the cathedral as to bishops and other religious patrons of the church. In the same grounds is the Bishop's Palace, the ruins of a once enormous palace. It was also interesting to look through, a maze of dark, sombre chambers and upstairs stonework rooms. I imagine it would be quite spooky at night!
After looking around, we thought we better get back to the coastal path, so a taxi ride there got us started.Some of the path was steep, there were a few descents over rocks and gravel and some of those sheer drops plunging to the rocks and ocean below.
It was quite cold, and I actually had three layers on, and for people who know me well, they will be thinking it must have been utterly freezing!
I did go back to two layers after we started. We passed a few walkers early on and then it became quieter as we headed out into no man's land!
We saw lots of sheep and some Welsh ponies, which sister #1 strode past. I was a little worried they might want some food to let us pass :)
Unfortunately, sister #1 had another accident, feeling unwell, she stumbled and landed quite heavily, hurting her hand and knocking her knee. It was very fortunate that she fell to her right, because the fall to the left was into a gorse bush, and then a good 50 metre or more drop to the rocks and ocean below. She will be wearing a harness and/ or a parachute from now on!
We passed through Porthgain, which a friend of mine spoke about quite a bit, so we stopped at The Sloop Inn ( one of his drinking spots, I believe, with rellies living in the area too) and had a coffee. It was a very busy place, lots of interesting bibs 'n' bobs inside. So, Gwill old mate, been to your pub :) Promise fulfilled :)
The other promise was for Briggsy, to see if Jerome was in town. Sadly, no...I believe he is running a marathon this weekend in Birmingham, so no sign of the man :) oh well...
We made it into Abercastle in the afternoon, and found our accommodation, Garn Isaf, a lovely farmhouse style guesthouse. The owner, Annie, has been very friendly and drove us to a nearby inn for an evening meal. This was in her van...sister #1 in the front seat and B.I.L #1 and moi in the back, no seats mind you. Not a problem until the motion sickness kicked in and I thought there would be some serious upchucking going on! Luckily it was only a short drive but I did need to take a few big breaths of cold Welsh air before going inside!
Our meal was nice - very plentiful. The ride back to Garn Isaf was less eventful, as I commandered the front seat.
It has started to rain in earnest now so I hope it clears for tomorrow's walk.

Solva to St Davids - 19 kms or so...
We had alovely night at the Cambrian Inn in Solva. A really delicious meal, probably the best so far, a wonderful room with a comfy bed, a yummy breakfast this morning - all great things to set us up for a good walk today.
Our walk had a billion steps ( I counted them, I swear!) and some terribe descents with rocks and boulders to climb over and slide down. It was a wonderful workout especially for the calves and I won't mention my now totally ruined knees. No more kneeling in church....bahaha...anyway, the scenery was...can you guess? It was amazing! The path can precariously close to a few sheer drops and it was wise not to look down. We also had to negotiate a path through gorse bushes, which led to a few scratches and scrapes.
Apart from steps, gorse bushes and deadly drops, we encountered some Welsh ponies and some woolly sheep who were guarding the path. The previous day we spotted a deadly Welsh adder on the path...or was it a legless lizard? Personally I think it was a death adder, even though it was small and didn't have a tail like a snake.
We walked to St Justinians which is opposite Ramsey Island. The channel was swirling with different tidal patterns, which are referred to as The Bitches. Due to this really strange and strong tidal current, they are building an experimental tidal power turbine. There was a huge crane that was lifting equipment and men across onto the platforms at the base of the cliff. It was pretty amazing to see. Nothing much else at St Justinians. We decided to catch the coastal mini bus into St Davids, about 3 miles away. We waited for a while and then decided to walk. We saw the bus after a kilometre or so and flagged it down. Lucky we did as the road into St David's was very narrow!
We are staying at The Coach Inn, another guesthouse, perfect location with an ice cream shop nexrt door, a lolly shop across the road, a chocolate shop at the end of the road, and St David's Cathedral a stone's through away.
We are going to look around there tomorrow morning before we head off to Abergale.
We had a yummy meal at the pub down the road, again another delicious meal. Oh, and another Baileys...

Broad Haven to Solva - 21 km
Did you know that I have mountain goat blood? No, neither did I but after today's effort, I feel like I must surely have. What a hilly, steep countryside we traversed today. All those spin classes and PT with Jacqui and Julie must have helped. I am reliably informed that worse is to come. Oh goody! The weather was beautiful, sunny skies and a lovely cool breeze blowing off the ocean!
We passed a lot of walkers and a couple of joggers, mad people! There is a running event next weekend that takes the runners along the same path we are walking. I can't imagine running the path- walking is treacherous enough!
We had our first injury today, with sister #1 stumbling and grabbing hold of a gorse bush, with its sharp, needle like thorns. Ouch! Blood was spilt and first aid was required on the steep path. All good though - no emergency services needed :)
We stopped at a little town to grab a drink and were joined by a vintage car group, who pulled in after we did. The woman behind the bar was a bit stressed, we think. Said we could stay if we wanted ( we only wanted a drink and quick break before tackling the next hill, which we could see) - but a large group would be eating in this area (good for them).
It was a MASSIVE climb and I thought I might need oxygen, but we all survived.
Lots and lots of stairs today as well...I will never complain about our two flights of stairs at work again.
Solva is a nice little place. We are staying at The Cambrian Inn and I am currently in the bar. Seems like the place to be.

Broad Haven 16 km
Today we had a shorter walk again, only 16km, from Marloes into Broad Haven. Although fairly short, the track was up and down in parts and my knees were certainly feeling it. For the first time, my feet started to hurt, so I am hoping that will pass soon. Along the way we passed a few walkers out for their weekend hikes and a few dog walkers. It appears the "season" for walking the coastal path starts next week, when everything picks up in terms of weather and the influx of tourists and places start to get busy.
Along the way we passed St Brides' estate, a very fancy castle like structure which now accommodates tourists. The scenery continues to be dramatic and stunning...although in some places, there isn't a lot of manoeuvring room and one tumble the wrong way could see you plunge over the cliff :)
We stopped for a quick drink at Little Haven then we had to walk out on a very steep road! Back on the path again for the walk into Broad Haven, which has the most loveliest beach and the views from our B and B are wonderful. My room is so tiny, up in the roof almost. The shower is designed for a midget. I will appreciate my large shower when I get home!
Tea at the nearby Ocean Restaurant was nice. Tomorrow we are walking to Solva.

28km trudge to Marloes
We had an epic walk today to Marloes. We left at around 9.15am or so and walked around the coastline, with some incredibly breathtaking views. It became more breathtaking with the ups and downs in the windy, foggy weather and then some rain, but not a drenching, thank goodness.Some of the sheer drops were quite close to the path which was interesting. :)
We passed through a lovely little place called Dale and continued past. A couple of hours later we were on the other side of the hill looking down on Dale...it felt like we hadn't gone anywhere! The trip today was supposedly only 20km but we were well past that. We continued on but realised we'd be walking for another couple of hours so took a short cut across country. We eventually made it to our destination but what a walk! I loved the wild landscape and the rolling fog. But I was glad to finally make it.
One of the highlights was waiting for the tide to drop enough so we could cross - this took about an hour so that the wooden pathway was exposed enough to cross.
Our accommodation is at The Clockhouse, which is a B and B in Marloes. It is quite nice but I am getting tired of stairs and little showers :)
We had a meal at The Lobster Pot, a local pub, which was quite nice.
Tomorrow we are heading off to Broad Haven, about 17kms away. Slowly eating into our 300 km hike in Wales :)

Pembroke to Milford Haven
Today was our shorter walk today - about 12 km - from Pembroke to Herbrandston, Milford Haven. We caught the bus for a trip to Milford Haven to start our walk which took us around the coast, past the oil docks. We saw one of the ferries from Ireland come in plus a large oil tanker. The scenery was lovely once we cleared all the industrial sites. The path was like a goat track, very narrow and up and down but manageable. In Milford Haven, we looked in an art gallery with some lovely paintings and prints - very tempted to buy one or two but the thought of having to carry them in my already full backpack put me off that idea.
When we reached Sandy Haven the tide prevented us from using or even seeing the stepping stones, and the beach was virtually none existent. We powered on through to Milford Haven along the windy and sometimes steep roads, stopping at the pub for a quick drink. The B & B is called Fields Lodge and it is absolutely beautiful. I met the owner's dog called Ollie who is lovely. I should write a dog blog ;)
Tonight we will have a meal at the pub - it is a 30 second walk away.
Tomorrow we have a 16 km walk to Marloes, depending on the tides!

Boshertonto Angle, Angle to Pembroke
It was a hard slog from Bosherton to Angle yesterday. We had to take few diversions as the Ministry of Defence, who own great parcels of land, were firing. The red flags werenot flying but draped at the bottom of the pole so it was anyone's guess really. We heard them firing in the distance so had to divert quite a bit. We walked through numerous paddocks full of cow poo and lots of grass which set my hay fever off. Fun! The walk was fairly flat, give or take a few bumps, but it seemed to take forever to walk the 25kms or so. We even walked to our accommodation (blame Joan for that who said " what's another 6km?) Indeed...
Our Band B was called Neath Farm and it was very comfortable,apart from the huge spider I discovered on the bedroom floor. I was incredibly brave and squashed it with my hiking boot. Justin would be impressed!
The owner had a lovely dogcalled Bella, a labradoodle, who was well behaved and enjoyed a lot of pats. The owner, called Mavis, did a load of washing for us (at £3 each!) so now have some clean clothes again. She drove us in to Angle to the local pub for our evening meal. Angle is a bustling little village - not! We saw a couple of people plus the owners of the pub, so goodness knows what people do all day. Mavis said she'd come back to pick us up when we were finished and left her number with the owner. He wrote it down incorrectly so we thought we may have to stay the night :) or walk! Eventually the internet connection returned and one of the people in the pub looked up Neath Farm and got the number.
The roads are so narrow and windy and the locals race along at speed. When two cars meet, one has to back up or move over into the hedge! God help me when I have to drive in Cornwall and Devon!
Today we got driven back to the path for today's walk, which was about 16 kms into Pembroke. We had to pass the oil refineries and the port (which is one of the world's deepest natural harbours) and then through grassy paddocks and through woodlands, which was quitepretty.
Pembroke is quite busy, lots of traffic and people out and about. The castle in Pembroke is wonderful!! We spent some time exploring and I braved the multiple narrow stairs and stairwells to reach the top of the keep, where the views were incredible.
After this we went for a walk through the city centre and then back to the hotel whete we are staying tonight.
Having tea in a minute so will see what the food is like.
Tomorrow, walking to Dale.

Manorbier to Boshington
We left Manorbier and its beautiful castle to continue our hike along the coast, this time aiming for Bosherton. As with the previous hikes, it was up, up, up, up, down, down,down - and repeat this sequence continually for 18 km or so. The weather today was particularly warm which made walking uncomfortable, well, at least I thought so. The views continue to be amazingly beautiful and the sheer drops from the path should you stumble the wrong direction a bit unnerving but generally you would only roll down the cliff... and then plunge head first over the drop...which is small comfort.
The knees took an absolute pounding today and as a result are very swollen. I feel a double replacement heading my way.
There were quite a few people out walking today - it is certainly wonderful weather for Wales, we've been told. Lots of dog walkers around too. The forecast is for continuing fine weather until Friday and Saturday and then rain will appear. Hopefully not huge downpours.
Bosheron is a little village with a few houses, a church, a cafe, a pub (our B and B) and loads of sheep, the majority of which are in the field just across the road from my bedroom. The may baa all night but I think I will sleep through anything. We are having a meal in the pub tonight - it has received lots of good reviews in the guest book, so hopefully another nice meal coming up.
Tomorrow we head off to a place called Angle. I am hoping there will be some flat patches to enjoy!

Tenby to Manorbier
Today was another beautiful day with a little bit of a breeze, possibly cold for some. Sunshine and no rain, perfect. The walk from Tenby started off on the beach ( with sand!) and then the path headed up...and up...and up...and across and down, down, down, then up, up, up, up up...I think you get the idea. :) A strong breeze would possibly blow you over the edge of the cliff into the swirling ocean below - in some places it is a sheer drop so if you suffer from vertigo, the Pembrokeshire coast may not be the place for you! It probably isn't the place to go with no cartilege (spelling) in your knees. Certainly feeling it now!
The views continue to be utterly spectacular and there are so many photo opportunities - we've all been snapping away and I have tried to get a few on the tablet to post here, plus some onthe camera.
The path is marked by little acorns and B.I.L #1 has been navigating perfectly across fields, cliff faces and across the firing range. No red flags so it was safe to cross. We spotted some ponies, a couple of llamas or alpacas (can't tell 'em apart) and a few other walkers including quite a few dog walkers. Also lots of MASSIVE bees which sound like low flying planes.
Also lots of caravan / holiday camps where holiday makers can romp about on the stony beaches and paddle in the freezing water. Brrrrr...not for me!
One thing about cold weather is the urge to wee. Sometimes holding on is not an option and today was my first experience of a nature stop...and I mean a nature stop! A sneaky wee, hoping that I wasn't spotted by some twitcher or rambler, out looking for the spotted crescent blue warbler or wild elderberry. Now I have done it once, I hope never to do it again. Just my luck that I would be bitten on the bum by a bee or creepy crawlie!
Aren't you glad I shared this snippet with you?
We finally reached Manorbier Bay and enjoyed an icecream before heading over to visit Manorbier Castle. It is a Norman Castle built by some king way back in time (I should know all this) - it remained intact over time because other Welsh kings didn't attack it. If they had to clamber over those cliffs, I could understand why!! It was fascinating to look around and climb up to the tower, look in the dungeon and pay a visit to the watch tower.
Our accommodation is just a stones throw away and is another comfortable B and B / guesthouse. A refreshing cuppa and a long game of fetch with Peggy Sue the beautiful border collie, then a shower. I had a bit of a wander along the main road and then up the steep hill to see a very old church. The graves were interesting to readbut I didn't venture in as my knees were starting to really hurt so it was a very slow walk back down the hill.
Tonight we will be having a meal in the restaurant here at the guesthouse then an early night for me.

Amroth to Tenby - 11.2 km
After a really good night's sleep and a good breakfast we started our first day of walking from Amroth to Tenby. Although a short distance, it was quite steep in places, as the photos will show, and I have no love for hilly, steep bits or steps. I didn't count them but I am fairly sure we climbed at least 500. Or possibly more. The knees were protesting and I think I was oxygen deprived but the views certainly made up for any pain. As we say in spin class, pain is weakness leaving the body :)
Naturally sister #1 and B.I.L #1 clambered over the hilly steep bits like mountain goats. Were they even puffing?? I'm not sure - I couldn't hear them over my Darth Vader gasps.
We passed through a little coastal town : very pretty and a good opportunity to buy some stamps and a few postcards. The views along the coast were spectacular.
Tenby is beautiful as the pictures will show and obviously attracts a lot of tourists. Being a Saturday there were quite a few out in force. When we arrived we looked around some of the streets, with quaint names like Upper and Lower Frog Street before stopping for a bite to eat - cornish pasty and cake, which the seagulls and pigeons were eyeing off.
Our accommodation is the Clarence House Hotel. They have a 2 star rating but my room, although tiny, is ok and the bed seems comfy. It is located on the seafront but my view overlooks the garden - more like a beer garden by the sounds of it.
We are heading to look around and find a place to eat a bit later. We've already made pit stop at a supermarket passing some interesting people hanging about with their numerous babies in pushers outside a toilet -must be the place to hang out if you have nothing else to do. :)
Tomorrow we walk from Tenby to Manorbier, another small walk of around 12 kms.
The interesting thing is that we walk through a firing range at Giltar Point but it's safe, unless red flags are flying and then there is a chance of getting shot.

Amroth is lovely and the B & B here is beautiful, the owners are friendly and welcoming and I have a room with a comfy bed - no lumpy sofa in sight! We had a cup of tea with homemade cake then a meal later at The New Inn. Can't complain.
The real pain starts tomorrow as we begin our hiking. Stay tuned :)
Had my dose of puppy love - with a cute Staffy pup; and her big brother. Hoping the 2Ms are behaving themselves.
