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.
