We drove up from Pembrokeshire after lunch, through Aberystwyth (50 years after we started university there!) and on to Borth which hasn’t improved in 50 years. From there we could see our final destination, Aberdovey, only 4 miles away, but there is a very large river in the way and we have to go up to Machynlleth and back down the other side.
We picked up the Welsh coast path where we left off 10 years ago, and skirted around Borth Bog which is apparently very interesting if you like that sort of thing. It was one of the flattest walks we’ve done and easy going, with a few flowers, butterflies and dragonflies, but also a lot of bitey flies delighted that a meal had turned up. So we arrived at our quirky AirBnB in Tre Taliesin somewhat bloodstained and itchy.
It was only a short walk today, 4 miles to practice carrying our big packs. OK so far but tomorrow is much longer with hills….
