Pembrokeshire Life - The Way Out West

About Me

This blog is not written in the hope that anyone will find it interesting; it's a visual record of my life which I will be referring to it when I'm old and decrepit. I will not be swearing in my blogs in case my grandkids read it.

I am a graphic designer who lives in Pembrokeshire. I like living in Pembrokeshire because the landscape and culture allow me to do all the things I enjoy, surfing, biking, playing rugby, climbing and boozing with my mates.

Pwllgwaelod to Cwm-yr-Eglwys

13 July 2010

In my opinion North Pembrokeshire has the best coastal path walks. We took off from Pwllgwaelod and walked around Dinas Head to Cwm-yr-Eglwys on Sunday. Patchy blue skies and good beer in the Sailors Safety! This photo (taken on my phone) is looking from Dinas Head towards Newport, the Parrog is just visible on the right.

Skomer Island paddle

09 July 2010

We waited until the last minute to get across to Skomer Island by kayak as the tide was still churning Jack Sound up a bit. We were met by these awesome Puffins. Click on image to view a larger version.

Pembrokeshire Iron Man (over two days)

05 July 2010

What better way to enjoy the Pembrokeshire summer than cycling 120 miles through Pembrokeshire?

Rosebush > Porthgain > St.Davids > Newgale > Dale (day 2) Lawrenny > Freshwater West > Freshwater East (The worse hill in Pembs?) Tenby.

While you're at it, why not throw in 26 miles of coastal path running and a good swim down the Cleddau Estuary for good measure. Click on image to view a larger version.
