St Davids May 2012

Bryan, Rob, Andy and Neil went to Bryan's caravan for the weekend. The weather forecast was not great but it turned out not too bad. We met up in Solva, Pip swimming the estuary to greet Abby when she heard her bark from the other side of the river, and had a pint or two at the Harbour Inn before getting provisions in and setting off for a short walk around Whitesands Bay. A few pints in the evening and a takeaway curry rounded the day off.

On Saturday we walked from the caravan around the coast path to Porth Clais and St Non's Chapel, into St Davids, into the Farmers Arms and outside a well deserved drink. About 11.5 miles walked. In the evening we walked to the Farmer's Arms in St Davids for food and drink, especially drink.

Sunday saw the difficult and dangerous assault on the west wall of Carn Llidi. Well it's the biggest thing for miles around and hardly classifies as difficult, dangerous or, indeed, a wall, but it was all we had!
