Tenby May 2018 pt 1

Back in May we took the caravan down to Pembrokeshire to stay near Tenby for a week, yes I'm a bit late with the blog but going to try to catch up a bit now!   lol

The weather is a bit dull this morning,  we are walking from Stackpole carpark towards Barafundle , a stunning beach and headland.

                               The Terrible Twosome are not bothered about the weather!

After a nice run on the beach I have left Jan on the beach reading and have taken the dogs up around the headland for a walk .

    Superb section of coastline.  this would have been good to fly the drone but its way too windy, and too dull to take photographs.

In The evening ,we have driven into Pembroke to take a look around the castle.  There is a nice flat path all away around the castle moat.
Time to get the drone up , although I have to keep well away from the buildings around the opposite side of the castle ,  I think a quick flight almost straight above me is the best option.

Just a short 5 minute flight was enough , the castle doesn't look as interesting from above as I had hoped.

The next morning we have decided to go to Marloes sands , which is near to where the boats sail from to go over to Skomer , were I will hopefully go tomorrow as the weather is looking good .

The Terrible Twosome are having a great time,  I am trying to photograph them running along the beach with my 100-400mm lens

                                  Its so difficult to get them both running side by side !

                                                                              HAHA!

Walking back towards the car park, I have spotted quite a few Broad Body Chaser dragonflies,  stunning species .   shot with 5dsr and 100-400mm L

the end of a couple of days in Pembrokeshire , tomorrow I sail to Skomer to see the Puffins !

Colby Wood, Pendine and Barafundle last day in Pembrokeshire 21th June 2014

Today is our last day in Pembrokeshire :(   We leave tomorrow , so for the last full day in the sun we are firstly going to Colby wood for a quick look around, then off to Pendine sands .

                                                          Come on, Hurry up !

            We are at Colby Wood near Amroth, we cant go into the gardens with the dogs . but can go into the surrounding area .

                                 Big meadow area with a stream running through.

                                               Appears Chester cant read!!!!!!! and can't get out    haha

                                            Looking at the house from the meadow

                                            

                                                    
           I have just spotted this male Broad bodied chaser , managed a few shots before it flew off!





            The trees have good colour for this time of year , must be amazing in the autumn

This is the end of the meadow, we have tried walking further to follow the stream but cant get much further , so we decide to leave now and head to Pendine Sands.

  Having parked up near the beach , this is the notice on the top of the beach!!!!!!!!!  SERIOUSLY!

                                          Hope Chester doesn't roll on a bomb!     lol
This beach is seven miles in length and i think has been used for land speed racing at some point. it is still used for hot rod racing i believe.

         The dogs are straight in!  its very shallow and they can paddle quite a long way out.

                                                                        So fast Mol :)

   i am using the long lens at high iso to freeze the movement, just look at the water drops

                               Look what Mollster has just found!   its a huge barrel jellyfish :)

Chester has been barking alot , a welsh guy has just stormed down the beach complaining!  WTF?
its a 7 mile beach  , with a dog free zone at the car park end with loads of screaming kids all along the busy area that we have left  and he complains about a dog barking!!!!!!!!!!       does he complain about all the noise the dam kids make?    No of course he doesn't!          Tosser!

             We continue walking along the beach, the tide is going out fast as its so shallow.

                                   We are trying to dry them off now on the sand chasing the ball .

                                                         Lying down to get a shot :)

      Time to go back to the van now for dinner , then  back to Barafundle beach for the evening.
             its a lovely warm evening and enjoy a great walk over the headland from Stackpole :)

                       an almost deserted beach ,except a few teenagers down for a barbi  lol

                                i don't think it will be long before these two get wet!

wet and sandy  lol     the low evening sun lighting them as they run  , Chester has his eye on the ball !

                                                                  Chester is flying!

                                              Turning golden now , lovely light

                                      Time to go now , they don't want to!  Awwwww :(

 

Last view as the sun lights up the headland

 

                   Last pic from Pembrokeshire  , its been a great holiday with superb weather.
                                    

Pembrokeshire Holiday pt2 Terrible Twosome on Barafundle Beach 15th June 2014

 Today we are going to find Barafundle Bay , having driven down very narrow lanes we have parked at Stackpole Quay and the path takes us over the headland to Barafundle.        Our first view of the Bay , tides out and its almost deserted!   the sky is clearing fast with clear blue sky coming this way :)

                                          Terrible Twosome are already in the water :)

                                                   Having loads of fun getting wet    lol

                                                    Mollster has just soaked Jan    hehe

                                                    "Fang"    Chesters new nick name :)

     With its  beautiful rocky edges to the bay , and caves the dogs are investigating.........

                                                 Im in the cave now :)     looking out........

We eventually walk up the steep path and back up over the headland towards Stackpole car park

 

Posing Mollster :)

                                       Last view of the beach , what a wonderful sight .

                             Tomorrows weather in the morning is not looking good :(
