After my walk at Lawrenny yesterday, I just wanted to have some fresh air today and go somewhere near by. I called at the garage for fuel and as I was talking to Pete, he said why don't you go to Monkston beach. He said the views are spectacular and the beach is lovely. So that's where I decided to go. When I got there, I remembered I had been once before and hadn't been over keen to go back; the walk down to the beach was pretty treacherous even though there are steps all the way down. It was very muddy and I lost my balance a few times, but managed to right myself before doing any damage!
The views from the top are spectacular; it was a bright sunny day so I could see for miles across the bays. To the west the view to Tenby was clear, and to the east, I could see towards the Gower Peninsula. It was breathtaking.
When I eventually arrived at the bottom of the steps on to Monkston beach, it really was lovely. There were only one or two people around. If I hadn't parked the car at the top of Monkston, I would have walked across to Coppett Hall as the tide was low, and there would have been enough time to walk there, but not enough time to walk back again. It was obvious that I would have to make my way back up the steps. I wasn't enamoured with the idea of it, but as it turned out, it was easier walking back up than it had been walking down. I was quite proud of myself when I got back to the top.
