Wednesday 4th July 2012 – walk **** sunny periods
Woke up in Dale to rain but it had stopped by the time we got up and it
gradually got brighter until there was ..........sun!!! We drove to Broad
Haven after breakfast and were amazed to park for 2 hours for 60p! We set
out to walk round the rocky headland from Broad Haven to Little Haven which
you can do at low tide. It was a great walk on a beautiful beach in
sunshine :) There is a huge cave at the end which I had a look at while
Mag did some rock pooling :) Walked along the length of Broad Haven beach
on the way back. Drove to a brilliant parking place on Newgale cliffs for
lunch and read the paper then we walked down the cliff path to walk on the
beach. At low tide there is lots of sand and we walked as far as we could
on the beach then scrambled up the cliffs to the Welsh Coast Path. Mag
slipped on the loose rocks and nearly disappeared over the edge but managed
to climb up a different way. We walked to the huge tall rock at the end of
the bay and sat there watching what we think was a peregrine falcon (or
possibly a goshawk) It was flying over our heads but Mag hadn’t got the
binocs so we couldn’t see too much detail. There was also a buzzard
flying over and at least 3 kestrals. This morning we saw a buzzard on a
telegraph pole and that was the closest and best look at one we had ever
had :) We were out at least 2 hours so what with this morning’s walk we
have done a lot today. Had a drink and finished off the paper then walked
to Newgale for fish and chips but it is such a small hamlet there was no
chip shop! Walked back and had mince and beans out of a tin. Beautiful
spot for our overnight stop:)
