Its very late September and I have 11
days off work to complete the Fishguard to Bangor section of the
Wales Coast Path. Today's walk starts from where I left off in July
and guess what?......... they've strimmed the paths....hoooray, maybe
they are reading my blog!!!?
The day is warm and sunny(unlike
July!) and I have a lot of hard miles ahead of me, the 10 miles or so
to Newport are supposed to be the easy part of the walk but as I
trudged up and down another valley I'm starting to wonder what the
rest of the walk is like! Newport (unlike its namesake in south
Wales) is lovely, a really nice village feel to it and with a nice
beach to boot! (see pic) The hike out of Newport is uphill and 2
miles out of town there is a warning sign that there are no
facilities for the next 12.8 miles(unless you want to take big
detours inland), but you have to ask yourself why this sign is so far
away from Newport? Surely it should be at the bottom of the first
hill out of Newport, its just ridiculous being in its present
location!!! So I battled on uphill and down-dale all the way to
Poppit Sands YHA which is in a very convenient location and one of
the best YHAs I've stopped in.....this was mainly due to me being
their only customer for the night, so I got a fantastic nights sleep!
