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...
