Saturday gave us perfect walking weather, not too hot, not too cold and no rain. The start point for the walk was the car park behind Manorbier Beach. In all, 21 of us made our way there; some by service bus, others by car (writes PM). A surprisingly stiff wind was blowing in from the sea as Paul struggled to complete the register before it blew away. After the usual pre-walk briefing, we split into the customary two groups and both headed down to the beach. At the shoreline, the Steadies continued right to take the footpath towards the 13th century dovecote. The Speedies turned left across the beach, carefully avoiding precious sandcastles, to join the path towards King's Quoit. The Steadies soon reached the historic dovecote and paused to examine it. Then they continued on, taking in the ruins of the old mill and the remains of the limekiln slumbering. After a very peaceful, exceedingly pleasant walk through the woods, they soon found themselves at the top of the castle drive. From there they could see the Beach Break café and almost smell the coffee. The café staff made them very welcome as they quickly filled the rear garden. Meanwhile, the 10-strong Speedies had reached the end of the oddly named Priest's Nose to find a kestrel hovering very low over the cliff-top. Down it swooped, but its intended prey was too quick. The bird re-appeared with empty beak and talons much to the relief of some in the group. The raptor soon resumed its patrol, keenly seeking new prey. The Speedies continued on their way, up and down, to the top of Precipe Bay. They marvelled at the vertical strata clearly visible along this stretch of the coastline and wondered at the forces required to create them. The tide being high, no sand was visible down in the bay, so relieving us of any temptation to follow the steep steps downward. Instead we went through the gate, turned left and continued upwards to the aptly named Hill Farm. This had been a short but exhilarating foray onto a very scenic section of the Coast Path. After crossing five fields and negotiating two stiles, we found ourselves in the lane that goes from Castlemead Hotel towards Skrinkle Haven. Then there was one last stile and a short stroll to the café to join the Steadies. The group enjoyed another highly social Saturday morning walk. Tomorrow (Saturday) there will be a town walk led by Janice. Meet by the bus station in Park Road for a 10.30 start. Refreshments will be at the coffee morning in St. Mary's Church House in aid of Tenby Male Voice Choir. Please note that there will be no Steps2Health walk on Saturday, August 30; the programme resumes on Saturday, September 6, with a walk at Bosherston lily ponds.
