Another sunny Sunday, so time to get back on the coastal path - retracing our steps from Aberporth to Tresaith and completing the extra few miles to finish back in Llangrannog (where we'd parked up for the duration).From there we took another Cardi Bach bus trip to the start of the walk in Aberporth, then followed the 'mostly' wheelchair friendly path to Tresaith. (Although the hedgerows had gotten so high in places that anybody in a wheelchair wouldn't have been able to see much!)
With the dry summer we've been having the waterfall wasn't looking so impressive, and after a brief rest by the beach we followed the road and started the climb, past the Ship Inn and out of Tresaith.
The path climbed quite steeply to the top of the cliff, with some great views back over Tresaith towards Aberporth - although a touch of mist was by then coming in off the sea.
The path hugged the coast for a bit before it turned back inland around Penbryn beach (looking stunning below us):
The footpath descended (quite steeply in places) through green woodland - took a bit of a slip on these steps, but the cool of the wood was otherwise much appreciated, and we paused to admire the stream and the general ambience.
The path finally climbs again to emerge in the National Trust car park by the Plwmp Tart cafe.
We came close to stopping for tea and cake, but eventually decided to press on - if we'd known then about the climb ahead we may have chosen differently! It was a steep haul, with the sun very warm after the cool of the woods and the earlier mist, but we were soon back on the cliff path again, enjoying the views, as Llangrannog crept ever closer:
I was glad we stuck with the shorter option - time for what Martin would refer to as my 'traditional cider' - sitting in the sun outside the Pentre Arms watching the world go by.
