A couple of good days on both walking from a touching point I set up on a rock at the far end of the static chalet and caravan park where I am staying at Clarach Bay (and on the coast path obviously!). Filling in a gap caused by Storm Ali in 2018 and generally recharging my batteries after a very eventful patch!
The first walk climbed up constitution hill, and I was rewarded with fabulous views over Aberystwyth. A slow steep descent followed! I then walked the promenade and round the harbour for another couple of miles. Weather ideal for walking!
And lots of dragons!
Eventually I walked back into town, and picked up a taxi back to Clarach bay (very decadent!).
The second walk was a good deal more strenuous and took me on a very uppy downy path to Borth. It was classic coastal walking and another good day for walking though windier. I didn’t cover the ground very fast but concluded better to be safe than sorry!
It was a great day for fungi!
I established a touching point in Borth, and got the bus back to Aberystwyth and then another decadent taxi to Clarach bay.
The weather forecast probably precludes much progress tomorrow, which looks like it is going to berather wet!!! Maybe a good day for catching up a novel or knitting!
