Holiday Photos		Today the Ceredigion Coastpath from Ynyslas to Aberystwyth - and guess what, it's raining.
		We pass what is reputed to be the only shipyard left in Cardigan Bay .
		After a brief walk in the sand dunes we follow the river Leri, its course much altered to provide drainage .
		Looking back to where it enters the Dyfi Estuary .
		In the afternoon, having dried out in a local cafe, we pick up the coast path again .
		As it undulates along - Borth now behind us .
		A pause for refreshment out of the wind .
		Somebody has been exercising their artistic talents .
		"Keep your mind wide open" written in slate above the figure .
		Continuing along the coast we come down into Clarach Bay with its holiday village .
		And ornamental bridge over the river .
		Unfortunately not beach weather .
		As we climb the hill .
		To get views of Aberystwyth on the other side .
		We can now see our hotel down there .
		There is a quick way down .
		And would you believe it the more indolent of our group .
		Opt for the easy route but their transgression is caught on camera .
		The beach at Aberystwyth almost in monochrome .
		As we start the last lap .
		Bracing ourselves against the wind .
		Brother and sister remembering childhood trips to the sunny seaside .
