Yesterday was a washout, so we spent the time in the motorhome experimenting more with Black & White conversions. But the forecast today was improved; we still expected some rain and very high winds, but it was worth getting out for some fresh air.
We headed off to a little port on the west coast called Porthgain which was about 25 minutes from our campsite. Due to the very grey skies, we thought that B&W might be the way forwards with our images, so lets see what they turned out like.
But we preferred the view from the other side with the white building taking a more prominent position…
The red brick structure at the back was intriguing and later I discovered this explanatory placard.
Further exploration along the coastal path gave a different view…
Heading into the village we had a drink in the local pub, the Sloop Inn, which initial excluded dogs, but a contradicting sign on the door allowed well behaved dogs.
Next we headed further southwest to St Justinian’s to capture the Life Boat Ramp – hoping for some stormy seas, but despite it being very breezy, the seas weren’t as rough as anticipated.
The wind was incredibly fierce at the top of this cliff edge which made photography quite difficult. Afterwards we headed back, but with one stop-off to get some milk in the town of St David.
Whilst in St Davids we diverted to the cathedral which was set in an impressive location with ruins nearby (which we couldn’t visit as they were closed to the public).
