Thursday - Caerfai to Newgale
11.1 miles, 1669ft elevation gain
Well, what can I say. Another splendid day walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. What a silent night we had. No rain, no storm, no waves. Whitesands had felt like sleeping next to a motorway with the constant noise of the waves so close.
We slept like babies at Caerfai until the gentle twitter of a blackbird woke us up in the early hours. What a way to start the day! We stayed a bit longer in our sleeping bags, then had a meager can of fish for brekkie and set off in bright sunshine towards Newgale.
Had quite a couple of "Wow!!!"-views on the way with more and more amazing cliff formations and different kinds of rock. If you're a geologist you'd love this place.
Had quite a long lunch break with a bit of food and a coffee at Solva before we tackled the second half of our walk.
Newgale sports a very long beach, a pub and a campsite and not much else really. Basking in the sun with a pint of don't-call-it-cider Strongbow right now. Pitching the tent after, cooking just another chili with some fresh ingredients we picked up in Solva (they had free ripe bananas, bet they didn't expect hungry hikers). We might be back for more beers after since the campsite is pretty much right behind it.
