A walk to the sea

Our weather has been very pleasant for the past couple of days. Warm, but not too hot and with a cool breeze from the west. There is more rain forecast for the weekend, but I don't mind a mixture. It's when it gets stuck on one type of weather for too long that I start to moan. So we had perfect weather today for a walk to the coast. As usual we drove to the tiny car park by the Mawddach Trail and set out to walk to the seaside.

We know from experience that if the tide is high here, then you need to take the inland route to Fairbourne rather than following the track that runs beside the estuary along the base of the cliff. Today it was safe to take the coastal route.



We followed the footpath sign to the right. The bridleway is the track that leads to the whimsical sentry boxes and then onwards to join the path to Fairbourne. ( More photos here... )

We didn't walk all the way to Fairbourne because I'm trying not to eat snacks so I declined G's suggestion of buying ice creams. As it was, the walk out and back was 5½ miles and if we weren't going to buy anything, the extra distance along the sea front was pointless. We had reached the sea and enjoyed the pollen-free sea breeze.
