1st July 2012 Hiking - Walking: Port Eynon Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: Distance Covered: Sunday 1st July 2012 – walk **** sunny periods Mag went for a lovely walk round the wood, up to the lake and along the babbling brook:) Twice as I was still in bed and wasn’t ready. After breakfast we drove off to Horton which is near the Port Eynon Bay. The car park is really expensive at £5 for the day but we had to put £1.30 in to actually get to see the beach and assess whether it was any good for sailing today! We walked a long way along both ways on the beach; it is a beautiful sandy beach with rocks at either end and the sun was out !!! We walked along to a ruined Salt Mill which was near a brilliant campsite field – right on the cliff. Back to the van and some other windsurfers had turned up so I decided to sail. Mag had to walk to the RNLI shop to buy some fudge to change £20 to pay another £5 for the car park – if you add on the £1.25 for the fudge this bloomin car park has cost us £8!!!! It is lovely though. Mag had a coffee and read my brilliant book then packed my lunch. After taking a few photos of me sailing and saying bye she walked along the Welsh coast path to Oxwich Point. It was a brilliant walk with stunning views and along the rugged coast and rough sea. There were lots of wild flowers – the cerise cranesbill was her favourite. She didn’t see any seals but there were some ponies! She had made up my mind to walk for an hour out and an hour back so she was pleased that she got right round the corner and could actually sea Oxwich beach when her hour was up and she stopped for lunch. Amazingly the weather hasn’t been too bad today but it did get black and start to rain for a few minutes just as she got to a thick tunnel of trees so she was sheltered. Mag then noticed a gap in the hedge and a rope leading down to help you get to some flat rocks with a good view of the bay. There were fishermen ranging from 3 small trawlers, men in canoes and people on the rocks. She sat on the rocks and ate my lunch and read my book for 45 minutes before setting off back. Mag got about half way back when met up with me who had finished an ok sail and had walked to meet her as arranged. One of the horses was very pleased to seeme!!! Mag have certainly walked miles today! We left there about 7 and drove back to Millwood for our second night – at least we are not paying to stay the night even if the car parks are a rip off! It is raining again as I am typing this – I don’t know if they ever have a day without rain in Wales – it’s why it’s so green!!! Photo Gallery Here |
