Spent the weekend down in West Wales with a couple of friends and their dog which of course meant I got to do some running at last. The idea was to do a few miles of the coastal path in glorious sunshine and take in the views. This being Wales of course it was blowing a gale and raining on me from the outset. I was not to be deterred though!

I was actually really enjoying myself despite the wind, cold and rain and was happily putting out enough effort to prevent hypothermia. The only times I got cold was when I stopped to take photos for you my dear readers. The sacrifices I make!

I had forgotten to bring my energy foods with me and so my friend had given me some marshmallows and chocolate but as I didn’t want them to melt in my pocket we shoved them in the only bag we had available – an (unused) dog poo bag. Β A bags a bag but I decided to eat while crossing the bridge in the photo – So there I am in front of the cafe shovelling marshmallows straight from a dog poo bag into my mouth. Always make a good first impression when visiting a new place.




Then I came to a dead end, the only way was to go back the way I came or so some scrambling up a scree slope. I am not one to be deterred by a challenge so off I went


I eventually got back after about 3 hours, tired, cold and wet but happy. The quad is still not entirely happy but then i cant really blame it after a dozen miles and a climb up and down a bloody scree slope.
In the afternoon we popped into St Davids – The Smallest city in Britain.

More importantly than sightseeing we took Iolo the dog to the pub

oh what an adventure!!!! Pleased you didn’t fall and break your neck! GAR!!!!
Oh and Iolo is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Bet you just wanna kiss that schnoz! What a cutie!!! (the dog)!

Lol! The thought of you standing outside the cafe eating your marshmallow out of a poo bag (probably dripping wet with rain to boot) made me laugh. I could imaging all the tourists inside the cafe looking at you ‘oh those poor Welsh people’ ‘insert your own politically incorrect comment here about small communities and interbreeding and the like’ hopefully they went home and gave a big donation to charity πππ
