While you ponder on my Christmas quiz, let me take you for a little walk along the Wales Coast Path… Although it doesn’t actually go by our house, it comes pretty close, like within 300 yards/metres, so it seemed an obvious choice for me to do – or at least a short section of it. The full route is 870 miles (1,400 km) long but, heading south from where we live, this section is ‘only’ about 13 miles (21 km).

These pictures were taken in early November and, as you will see, the weather was fine and it takes in some fabulous scenery, not to mention ‘my’ golf course, which has been taking up some of my time and keeping me away from my walking and blogging duties. (Sorry about that folks!)

I didn’t meet many people on the route, but I did stop to help a man fit a new letter box. My task was to hold the box in place while he fitted and tightened the nuts and bolts. A fine job he/we did I think you will agree. (See pic 13). 😊

      Thank you and yes, I do plan to do some more sections… At the very least I’ll be heading north from here and I received a book covering the LLeyn peninsular section for Christmas. But also I like the look of the Anglesey coast, which has plenty of coves and beaches. I hope you also have a good 2022 and stay safe and healthy!

    I’ve stayed in Harlech before and know of the beautiful mountain views. Not a bad spot for a golf course! 😊

      Yes, it’s a beautiful spot and quite a tough course! (Apparently the most difficult par 69 in Wales). The mountains will soon be calling though…

      Thanks Donna. It is a beautiful location but also quite remote. We are now on the look out for our own place. So who knows where we will end up and what adventures will be in store when we do move… 🤔

      Thank you Laura. It is a little different to Switzerland, but it does feel more like we’re back home (even if they do speak Welsh around here!) 😊
