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.
The coastal flowers still to be seen are the thrift and gorse, and just starting to bloom are pink campions and majestic foxgloves.
After the awful weather on the previous day, it was an ideal day for walking plenty of sunshine and not to hot.
Monday May 25th we went back to do the Solva to Broad Haven - which although a short stretch, a tough section, especially after the Whitesands to Solva long walk.
We were joined by six other WI ladies, it was very nice to have company.
Once again the generosity of fellow walkers was amazing and even though not from this area, donated to “Raise the Roof”. Our ‘Personal Highway Man’- Graham have filled three Sponsorship Boxes.
We have now completed 106 miles of the Coast Path, only another 80 to go!
The next walk will be on Sunday 7th June when we will walk from Sandy Haven to Cleddau Bridge 10.9 miles.
