Got a not-Covid bug... somehow. It was still quite horrid and had me sitting here basically unable to do anything but dip in and out of consciousness for a couple days, and then wander around drooping.
Much better today though, and I managed to give the dogs a proper walk under clear blue skies. I had hoped we could get out with the kayaks over New Year, but that didn't happen, what with the weather and the cold and having to acquire a new car... which has now been achieved. It's a Skoda Octavia, and quite shockingly for me and my history of old bangers, it was only registered in 2015. It has achieved 108,000 miles since then, but still feels worlds away from the ancientry of the 2003 Volvo. I am still eyeing the many electronic devices with suspicion.
Anyway, before the lurgi struck, we did manage to take it over to Pendine Sands to look at the beach where they used to do the land-speed records long ago. The tide was in, so it was mostly under water, but we agreed it was a Very Long Beach.
The beach itself was mostly coned off because the MOD were doing Things down there. So after a pub lunch, we went up the cliff on the end and along the top, which is quite a climb.
Along a path that was steep, slippery and muddy, but made up for it with Views. I suspect the steep muddiness was the reason we met almost nobody up there, though the little shoppy / cafe bit by the car park was fairly busy.
Till we got to the point, and looked down to the beach at Morfa Bychan, and decided that climbing down and then back up was Too Far.
