Day 3 Whitesands Bay to Abereiddy

Most people viewing the weather forecast today wouldn't have bothered getting out of bed this morning as 70 mile an hour winds and torrential rain was the forecast for South Wales. Fortunately we were just on the fringe of the bad weather and although it rained all day it wasn't too heavy and it wasn't at all windy.
We took the service bus to St David's and then the Celtic Coaster to Whitesands Bay where we indulged in a hot drink before setting off.

It doesn't look very appealing in the rain does it. It's a good job we saw it in the sun a couple of years ago.
We set off in a northerly direction this time to walk to Abereiddy over the rocky outcrops of St David's head. It was a bit difficult following the path through the heather but we managed not to get lost (keep the sea on the left!) My photos are all a bit blurry today as my camera isn't waterproof.




 We had a small hill to negotiate today and there was quite a lot of up and down before we arrived at the beach at Abereiddy.
We had quite a long wait for the bus there but amused ourselves by having a cup of tea from the van on the beach and spent a lot of time in the toilet as it had a roof on it! Fortunately the bus arrived on time with all its tyres intact and we went back to St David's and had a very nice hot meal in The Bishops before returning to Fishguard.
