Pembrokeshire - October 2012 - A couple of strolls along the Coast Path
On Friday we walked from Whitesands to Porthgain - 14.52 km (9.1 miles) with 699 m (2290 ft) ascent.
A lovely day, tee shirt weather in October is always lucky. Plenty of seals about including a couple of pups only a foot or two from the path. Unfortunately Pip spotted them before I did and had to be dragged off in disgrace, not that she got very close, she's got more sense than that.
The prices in the Sloop at Porthgain don't get cheaper but by the time you've walked nine miles you just want a beer.
