Monday, 24 July 2023, Happy birthday Charity. Day 9 of the walk. Alltrails app: 3 hours 35 minutes walking. 8.41 miles. 1030 feet elevation gain. Today Gary's new Garmin watch and my alltrails app tracked the same data. Garmin forerunner 25. 3 hours 56 minutes walking. 8.36 miles. 751 elevation gain. This is our last day with our shuttle taxi driver Michael. I wrote a note and we all contributed to a nice gratuity for him. He sent a very sweet thank you text. At 0900 he picked us up for the 20 minute ride back to Dale where he had picked us up last night. We bid farewell to the Ty Hotel. It has been a nice stay. Meals a bit on the expensive side. Tonight Chuck and I are in the Clock House in ... read more

Sunday 23 July 2023, day 8 of the walk. From Milford Haven to Dale. Alltrails app: 5 hours 6 minutes walking. 10.8 miles. 922 feet elevation gain Garmin forerunner 25. 5 hours 6 minutes walking. 10.76 miles. 750 feet elevation gain. We started walking at 1120 and arrived in Dale at 1655. Today we have two tidal inlets; one at Sandy Haven with low tide at 1628 and the other at Musselwick Sands with the same low tide. These were about five miles apart. Making the low tide crossings saved 6 miles of walking. Michael will pick us up at around 5 at Dale. The weather promise is no rain until 4 pm. So will try without rain pants. We were on pavement until we left the town of Milford Haven. The town is larger, about ... read more

Saturday 22 July 2023, day 7 pembrokeshire coastal path from Pembroke to Milford Haven Alltrails app: 5 hours 44 minutes walking. 12.3 miles. 1010 feet elevation gain. No Garmin data. Gary has much newer Garmin and consistently measures greater distances and elevations. We left the Coach House Hotel a couple of minutes before 0800 and walked the half mile to the start of today's walk at the Pembroke Castle. It rises above us as we walk beside the millpond and cross to the other side. It was raining steadily and wind tended to whip the water into our faces. Rain pants felt very good. We walked mainly on secondary road from Pembroke to Pembroke Dock. This ended one part of the all trails navigation and I had to connect to the next. At a market we ... read more

Welcome to Wales, the land of tongue-twister words (i.e Milford Haven in Welsh is Aberdaugleddau, and Wales in Welsh is Cymru), hedgerows and castles... Later note (17/07/06): I'll publish what I've got now, rather than waiting until I can upload everything, as I have no idea when I'll be able to. Ciao for now from hot and sunny London! ... read more
