| | | Re: A wide coast to coast Reached Ffairfach almost a hundred miles into the journey and it's been very good so far. The pembroke coast section was tough, next the mountains.

| | | Re: A wide coast to coast What an achievement! You must be so pleased with yourself! Your blister looked sore. It looks like you had good weather too.

| | | Re: A wide coast to coast Thanks for the comments, the weather was mostly good and i feel lucky for that, the blister was a mystery as to why i should get such a beauty and (although decidedly sore at the time) it did heal quite nicely.
The trip was all i could have imagined plus many suprises, i could get boring going on about how many pretty villages i went through but it is just so true.
Cheers J.P. |

Nige | I saw a lot of scenery and wildlife, the best spectacle was wild camped just north of santa pod with the bats flying back and forth on field boundary in front of tent, only someone there would believe how close they were.
The north/south is still on the hopefull list, it's just a question of time.
Must say it would be extreamely interesting if others did the W/E walk or parts of it as day hikes and report on all the sights i missed, there really were some fantastic days.
Cheers J.P.

I don't have much internet access during the week nowadays, so I haven't yet had the chance to look at your blog - I hope to catch up with it sometime. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
