I parked just outside Tresaith, walked down into the village, stocked up on cans and off to Aberporth, virtually the only piece of coastal path in this area. It was a fine warm day and I needed the pint of milk I got when walking through Aberporth. The RAF depot looked virtually impossible to get around so it was inland up a sharp hill and around the camp. Then it was a good bit of map reading needed to follow the footpaths through the farms, quite a few now derelict. The path into Mwnt also meant going through a farmyard of barking dogs. The churchyard in Mwnt appeared well looked after and in beautiful isolation. I went partially around the hill at Mwnt but there was a warning about erosion of the paths, so I came down past the beach.
Again there was no coastal path so I went through more farmyard paths. It was hard walk the rest of the day after a hard weeks walking. I tried looking for an open shop in Ferwing without success so carried on towards Gwbert – but still no shops – so getting quite thirsty!
I walked along the road feeling quite disappointed at having missed out the coast near Cardigan Island. When the road went inland I carried on around the mud banks. Sometimes it got boggy and finally I cut inland getting a bit lost in the farm and having to creep around avoiding the farmer!
People were out enjoying the sunshine as I came into the town. I popped into a café for a cup of tea and an ice cream – pretty grotty café. I then got a lift back to Tan-y-Groes with a young lad from Fishguard off to see his girlfriend in Aberystwyth – a carpet washer! He had just set up in business.
I then went back to my parent's Cardiff via friends in Aberdare.
