A family event has taken Damian and I to South Wales and there is just enough time for a short walk up the west bank of the Severn Estuary.

Carmarthen to Llangain 25.8.15
I wake up to a much nicer day and head down to the footbridge with the coracle memorial.

What follows is one and a half days of pain and frustration caused by rain, new boots, menacing cattle and nasty dogs.

My taxi drops me at Talland Bay where I finished yesterday and I head up the path which rises steeply up onto the cliffs. Both my boots and I are praying that it will not rain today as the cracks in the leather are now widening – it is misty at the moment but will clear up later I hope.

Continue readingBantham to Kingston 27.5.15
Areas of outstanding natural beauty are sometimes a logistical nightmare – this one comes in the shape of the rivers Avon, Erme and Yealm, not to mention Plymouth Sound. All of these stretches of water have to be crossed, one way or another and I suppose I can count myself lucky that it’s the summer season when the ferries are actually in operation.
Continue readingLlanelli to Kidwelly 18.3.15
This was a looooong walk, mostly because I got a bit lost, but more of that later.
