Explore Britain with me...

Thank you for joining me. My journey has only just begun (September 2014). I will be travelling around the coast of Britain over the coming years. I hope to see all the coastline and much of the interior. I am going anticlockwise and randomly started at the Dyfi Estuary, one of the most beautiful parts of Wales that I already knew, overlooked by the most beautiful mountain Cadar Idris. I am looking forward to seeing and recording all sorts of things. My own passion extends to wildlife, geology, scenery, history, architecture and I am interested to meet people and see the communities and towns that I pass. I have read different accounts on the length of the coast and it varies enormously, but at its extreme could be as much as 37000km, taking into accurate measurements and including all the islands. I don't think that's feasible, but much probably is! I suspect Ill use a combination of foot power, bikes and busses if I am to do it all. Perhaps I can use boats too and maybe even swim a bit.

Day 25 Manorbier to Penally

Sunday 28th February


Walk distance 8 km

Cycle 7 km

Height  200 est

2.5 hours


Total coastal distance walked 8km

Total coastal distance cycled 0km


Running coastal total distance 351.65km

Running height climbed 11486m


Cycled from Penalty to Manorbier and started walking from the castle in good weather. The early mornings are lovely with few people on beaches. A short section for maybe two km follows high cliffs and then the path cuts in land around Manorbier army camp. The path emerged at the wonderfully named Srinkle haven. Numerous caves and blow holes are passed as well as military foundations. Views of Caldy island open up. Although forewarned about the large caravan park  at Lydstep haven I wasn't prepared for the scale. An entire bay and cliff side spoilt by so many ugly homes. Some attractive cliffs then led on to another military range before I dropped down to Penally station car park
