Trek Days: Nash Point

Nash Point and St Donats are seriously beautiful places in Wales, I could sit and gaze at the cliff faces forever because I find them fascinating. (About to start working on one of my 30 things I want to do...Study Geology!) We spent the afternoon stopping and starting along the coastal path, sometimes to catch some rays; mostly to take photographs.

We walked through a woodland that lead to the first beach and found this ruined house. Just think of the people who used to live here.

This place is so breathtaking. Emerging from the woods and seeing the flash of sea... be still my beating heart.

Afternoon walks like these make my weekends. The working week really takes it out of me, cleaning is pretty monotonous with very little space for creative thinking. Coming to a place like this helps me recharge. :)

To get to the second beach there were two quite sizable ladders to climb down. I'm such a scaredy cat but I did it!

The Mister went in for a swim. He said the water was warm...but I do NOT believe him! :P

And... home.

I'm putting the finishing touches to this post as I should be getting ready for work, I just want to keep a hold of this past weekend. While I'm here, a big hello to new readers that have found me via Campfire Chic and Tea Talk. Really excited to be sponsoring two of my favourite blogs this month. July is great so far :)

Into the wild.

I'm still trying to catch up with sorting all the camping photos we've gathered on the Mister's computer. Here are a few from a wild camp we did on the side of a little mountain back in September last year. It was a very interesting camp...started out sunny and by the time the evening came it was gale force winds and a lot of rain. Quite scary and we didn't get much sleep that night for worrying we'd need to suddenly pack up the tent. When we woke up in the morning we were shrouded in cloud and still buffeted by wind. I could barely stand up! We had planned to continue to another mountain that weekend but, well, the weather was CRAP.

Just looking at these pictures makes me feel cold! It was epically beautiful though. What you can't see is the view from the top of the mountain. Luckily since I'd climbed it before, I already knew what it looked like and I think i've posted some from that hike before...somewhere in the midst of this post.

Best get to work. I'm blogging instead of getting ready. See what you do to me, bloggeroo's.

Have a wonderful day

P.S. In fact I believe this trip was the one that broke my good camera...Alright, alright, I'm going to work!!!

Back to December (Picture heavy)

Last year I went on so many hikes and never got around to posting many of the pics so here are a selection from December's walkies.
