Just Another Fantastic Coastal Day

Monday - Trefin to Whitesands
13.3 miles, 2500ft elevation gain

Just had a superb walk from Trefin to Whitesands on Monday. The wind was still quite there and at times rather icy, but without any gusts.
We put on sunblock right from the start to cope with sun, sun, sun and enjoyed the brilliant views walking ever South at first.
No rush today in such fine weather. We met a few people on the path, but as we reached the little harbour of Porthgain around 11am all of a sudden there were loads of people with dogs and children enjoying a nice bank holiday day.
We were just on time for the ice cream shop to open and ordered our big portions as the canisters were opened.

Wishing for more solitude we walked the fairly busy bit of the path to Abereiddi with a short detour to Trwyncastell, a watchtower ruin with superb views all around.

After Abereiddi we were mostly alone again, ah. Our leisurely pace had cost us quite some time so we quickened our step with feet getting more weary.
Had a few smaller breaks before views to the South coast and Ramsey Island opened up as we were approaching St Davids Head.

Our destination could now finally be seen - Whitesands. Not being a regular hiker Rich was broken, but managed to wobble the last few metres to the shop/café. My feet were hurting a bit and my knees were getting stiff, so I wasn't too unhappy to end our day here.

A coffee and a cake later we had enough energy to walk the 3 minutes up the road to the campsite. Starting to pitch we realized that none of us had the pegs. Ahhh! We must have forgotten them at the first campsite. While I was starting to make some pegs out of some wooden sticks with my knife, Rich went back to the shop and luckily got a pack. Phew!

Had a canned beef soup for dinner and sat a bit at the beach hoping to catch the sunset which was hidden behind clouds, boo.

Back at the tent we got the cards outs and played for a bit but soon were simply too tired and buried ourselves in our sleeping bags.
