All the Trails in Wales

Wales Border Hike 2017

Wales Coast Path (South) | Week 1

The first few days of hiking were lots of inland walks, and also lots, and I mean LOTS of rain. But after Borth I followed seaside cliffs, saw dolphins, beaches, met lots of curious hikers - and actually got more sun than I could handle.

Click on a day below to read about that day's hike and see pictures. *Remember that this is not 100% in real time, because I don't have regular wifi, but it's close enough*. Also if anyone has a good recommendation for what to do with giant blisters, please PM me, because it looks like I've somehow grown an extra toe.
