up and down beside the sea

---

This "event" has been in the planning for a while, its just a matter of the other two people getting the same day off work - not that simple when they both do odd shifts. However, we wanted to walk along the cliffs form Borth down to Aberystwyth, so we parked the car at Borth station and proceeded in a southerly direction, uphill. And down, and up, and down again and so on. The signpost indicated 5 miles, but there were so many ups and downs. My poor knees. BUT we did it and celebrated with chips on the prom at Aber

Photos

first stop
the museum where we were allowed to hold a 5,000 year old Auroch's bone that was washed up on the beach in the winter storms.

second stop
the coffee shop for refreshment after such a long sit in the car!!!

3rd stop
photo shot. See where we're going?

at the first top!
Lovely to look back

we saw some intersting things
first, a dragonfly made of pebbles and slate

then 2 dolphins
who refused the photo opportunity

and a man playing the bagpipes
on the beach below us. Ineke and I danced a reel to the tunes!

the shingle ridge goes out to sea
I believe its stuff that came down with glacial meltwater.

on the cliff at Aber
the rain held off though there were showers about all day. Lucky us.

and waited - and waited
only to find that it had broken down and in the end we got our money back and ran all the way back to Borth.
No we didn't, we got a taxi!
