|
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5 | ||
A walk from the Hotel door today. |
||
We decide to
walk the mile along the front . . |
||
Before
heading for the mountains . . |
||
As is usual
in these parts, we need to climb steeply past the cottages near the
coast . . |
||
And some of
us soon get warm . . |
||
Not content
with steep hills we have tall ladder stiles . . |
||
Pausing to
look back over the coastline . . |
||
And
sheltering to study the map . . |
||
We head up
ancient trackways . . |
||
And have
coffee in an old mining area . . |
||
We work our
way around the hills until we have our first view over the Estuary . . |
||
The views
are atmospheric . . |
||
Is it
sheltered enough for lunch here? . . |
||
Yes, if you
position yourself correctly . . |
||
We spot a
sheep apparently in trouble . . |
||
Heather and
Ross dash to the rescue, but the sheep trots nonchalantly off! . . |
||
After an
hour climbing a mountain pass (no photos taken) we emerge and spot the
coastline in the west once again . . |
||
We head
downhill . . |
||
The
landscape becomes more pastoral . . |
||
Sheep may
safely graze . . |
||
Nearly down
to sea level now . . |
||
We return along the coast road back to the hotel! | ||
