A light showers at breakfast so ate in Bessie, we head off from here it must be one of our favourite wild camps so far.
Heading to Tenby, known for its victorian houses painted in the colours of sugar coated almonds...I remember those growing up. Tenby is said to be one of the prettiest and cosiest Welsh seaside towns. I can see why.
We bought a fresh caught crab sandwich for lunch £4.95 very tasty, we were sitting down in the harbour with other picnicking visitors enjoying our sandwich when a very cheeky seagull swooped down and took off with the last bit of Tony's.......got a fright.....but he still has all his fingers. Needed another one after that..so tried one from another vendor away from the bay £4.80 but not as tasty as the first one, but still lovely fresh crab.
Warm slow drops of rain as we head back to the car park, just got harder as reached Bessie...timed that just right. Very large car park close to the town £1.50 for 5 hours as we were over with parking bays had to pay twice apparently as the wardens come round regularly.
This must be the best beache we have seen, smooth golden sand, no shells, stones or rocks. Tony would love to have gone in but we had to get back.
Stopped for diesel £1.13 £50 for 44 ltrs. sun came out . ...not for long...Rain and misty on the horizon the sky solid white.
Pretty wild flowers line the sides of the roadsides as we drive up and down 17% and a 12% gradient roads.
Arrived at our camp for tonight down a single Lane road, grass field attached to the main house of this independent campsite. Supposed to have views of the sea but the mistake blocks anything over the hedge. Mixed camp with tents....poor thingso in the rain....caravans and more motorhomes, the site is deceptively big as it carries on around the corner.
The manager comes for his £19 the weather has cleared and rain and storm forecast for tomorrow, so don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today, so we locked up and followed him visit a short cut, into the village.....sorry....'city'..... the smallest city in Britain as it has a Cathedral....St. Davids. The manager went in to The Bishops pub after telling us about the Cathedral and the Bishops Palace behind it.
We pass a butcher so bought some fresh ham and a Welsh oggie....pastie....rude not to.
The inside arches of the Cathedral are on a 14ft slope which has dropped over the years since the 12th century .
On the way back to camp the rain started, very fine, wetting rain.....then a downpour...then it stopped.....so this is forecast from now and all of July in Ireland....but hope we have little lucky breaks as we have today.
Oggie and omelet for dinner, the weather cleared, sun broke through and we can see the sea.....but can't get photo over the hedge so photo thru windscreen.
