I’ve never heard of Slapton, sounds like a sitcom place 😊

Slapton Sands saw rehearsals for the Normandy landings in 1944. I think it featured in an edition of 'Coast' on the Beeb.

Tenby's a proper Welsh seaside town. I used to visit friends in Castlemartin, 10 miles away, and loved exploring town & beach.

*shakes tiny fist at OH's cyclo-cross race which has meant no seaside for us this weekend*

Instead I'm cross-training by cutting a long, long hedge :-(

Hedge hugs.

The M25 was appalling and the M5 isn't any better. It's been 7 hours and we aren't even there yet. Stopped for cold water as the aircon doesn't work and we've been cooking in the car.

We saw a whale when we stayed near Slapton. I love Tenby and Saundersfoot. This was the view from our bedroom window the last time we stayed in Saundersfoot.

Swittle - this is the tank on the seafront.



Did 4 miles on the paddleboard and could have stayed out there all day. Saw a seal very close by.

Also had my first ever proper sea swim too 😁
