Walking at Whitesun Weekend

Thu, 28 May 2009 17:24:54 +0100

Whitesun Walks On Saturday 23rd of May- myself, Daphne, Graham and a few friends walked from Martins Haven to Pickleridge in Dale. Getting on the Puffin Shuttle at Dale to Martins Haven. Although a long stretch “ just over 11 miles”, it was a fairly easy walk without to many climbs. What I have noticed on our walk around the coast path is the great improvements the National Parks have made – putting up gates instead of styles and maintaining the path so well, and also bringing it further inland where there is danger of subsidence.

Another notch under the belt

Another notch under the belt- on Sunday 3rd May, Broad Haven to Martins Haven just over 10 miles. Daphne and myself along with our “minder Graham” were joined by 3 other WI ladies. A lovely walk with only a few up hill grunts! There are no styles on this section just wicket gates and kissing gates – there are more than 90 steps to climb tho’. As other sections – the coastal slopes were rich in wild flowers, and in the first half- an un-usual experience of walking with a wood between us and the sea below.

SNAKES, IRISH RAIDERS and beautiful COASTAL FLOWERS
