Day 6 Strumble Head and Fishguard

Today we started at Harmony and went via the North Pole to the coastal footpath at Porthsychan and then on to Goodwick. The 'A' party took in Strumble Head as well and the 'C' party did a shorter circular walk finishing on the coastal footpath.
The weather was warm and the sun threatened to shine all day but it didn't quite make it until the walk was over. Back in Tenby it was a beautiful day from about 11.00 a.m. Well you can't win them all and it would have been very hot walking.
We stopped for lunch at Carreg Wasted Point where there is a stone marking the last invasion of Britain by the French in 1797. Follow this link for more details.
We saw the occasional ferry leaving Fishguard for Ireland but the main event of the day was the sighting of a number of seals in Aber Felin Bay. We could hear them calling to each other as some basked in the sun and others swam around them.
Soon after this we caught up with the 'C' party having a tea break on the cliff top.

We arrived in Goodwick, which looked as though it was ready for anything, with about two hours to spare so had plenty of time for cups of tea and cake, or a drink in the pub as well as a stroll along the breakwater and a sit on the front in the sun before departing for Tenby.
