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 32 Taf to Llannsteffan




 Sunday 20th January 2019

Taf to Towy Llansteffan

Cycle 0 km
Height 114mest
2.5 hours

Total coastal distance walked 5km
Total coastal distance cycled 0km

Running coastal total distance 406.85km
Running height climbed 12250m




 Parked at Llansteffan and walked up to the castle. Views were fine and its a superb castle ruin. Then dropped down to the beach. With the tide out I walked to Scots bay . Then the path climbed gradually to Wharley point. The views of all Camarthan bay are the best I have seen, with the rivers scouring their way through exposed beds of sand, silt and mud.
The return walk was via the old lane linking the ferry crossings over the Taf and Towy. Although tarmaced without white lines the modern lane is single carriageway. Taking into account the width of the verge it is obvious two carts could pass. On the slopes vehicles had eroded the lane down. In one place over 18 feet deep! A lovely mornings walk in bright sunshine.
