Still not walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path – a ramble on Strumble

I haven’t been blogging, and hesitated before writing this one, as nothing much is happening. But I thought some people might appreciate a few mediocre photos and a glimpse of sea. If not, stop reading now!

Current Welsh Government restrictions are such that we aren’t meant to go more than 5 miles from home, and the Coast Path is still closed. Over the last few months we’ve explored many of the lanes and footpaths around the house, walking increasingly wide circles, but yesterday for the first time we drove out for a walk, parking up on Garn Fawr on Strumble Head. Somewhat hazy with mist coming off the sea in places, but lovely to be walking mostly off road and just a mile or so from the coast. There were a few rocky scrambles to highlight how unfit we are, the Coast Path is going to be a challenge when we get back to it.

The gorse has finished but the heather is out
The Rosslare ferry levitating above Strumble Head lighthouse
Leafy lanes, lots of foxgloves
Old lane out of Llanwnda
We thought that might be North Wales on the horizon but it’s just clouds
And more mist looking west over Pwll Deri
Last view of the lighthouse

Hoping everyone is keeping well and not too stir crazy. And also hoping we’ll be able to get back on the Coast Path before too long.
