Belated Borth Valentine

A sunny Saturday and off for a walk along Borth prom - beautiful day - had to take a picture of one of the beachside houses wearing its heart(s) on its decking!

Hadn't realised there were so many heart-shaped stones out there . . .

Borth Trekking

Sun shining, on holiday, let's go for a walk - how about a section of the Coastal Path?

So off we set . . .  had to get to the coast first, which involved a cross country pootle over to Clarach - then up the hill and down the hill to Wallog and Sarn Cynfelin.

Everything got a bit harder after that - a lot more uphill and loose dirt paths, which a certain person stormed up like a mountain goat . . .



. . . while a certain other person huffed and puffed like a steam engine while trying desperately not to lose her footing!

By the time we got to the cliff in Borth said person wasn't in a terribly good way - the legs had pretty much had it - never had a train station (down the hill and along Borth's unending street) and our ride home seemed so far away . . .


Made it though - 8 miles, 394 metres of elevation gained, 450 metres of elevation lost, 4 hours - and back to Aberystwyth for a much needed pint!

Borth Beach

Beautiful sunny day, and a trip to Borth to check out the storm damage there.

Aberystwyth was very much the poster-boy of the early January storms and Borth didn't feature much in the news, but there was flooding, and the beach (well stones) were washed up towards the houses in a big way.

They must have been working for a while to clear as far as they have, but the diggers are still very much in evidence!
