On the Friday, nineteen
members met up at Stackpole Quay, on the south coast, and enjoyed a
delightful 7 mile walk along an impressive stretch of limestone cliffs
passing incredible caves, blowholes and stacks and two fine sandy
beaches, Barafundle and Broad Haven. They returned inland over sand
dunes to follow the longest of Bosherton's lily ponds towards the
village, seeing many beautiful wild flowers, especially primroses and
violets. After the walk they continued their drive to Lochmeyler using
the Neyland toll bridge over Milford Haven to settle in for their stay.

Circular walks were enjoyed
throughout the holiday. Saturday was a beautiful day, (bucketing down in
Gloucestershire), and they took full advantage with an 11 mile walk from
Abercastle following the magnificent coastline and inland along
delightful flowery lanes. Time was spent at a woollen mill where ice
creams were very welcome. |

Sunday's walk was around
Strumble Head with its impressive island lighthouse. |

Members were excited when
Kathy pointed out a pair of peregrine falcons flying up.They also saw
ravens, several chough, and seals bobbing about in the sea. |

The walkers finished their
day out by crossing the neck of the peninsula at its high point, with an
interesting rocky descent at the end. The final day dawned wet, and some
people decided not to do the arranged walk, but those who did were
surprised and rewarded with sunshine after about an hour. They walked
from the fjord like Solva Harbour eastwards along the craggy coast to
the remains of Poinz Castle and back inland. |
