Walking the South West Coast Path: From Shell Bay to Dancing Ledge

Various pictures at points along the SWCP, on the walk from Dancing Ledge to Swanage.

This week's blog post is on my shenanigans walking the South West Coast Path again, in particular covering the two days we did walking from Shell Bay to Swanage, then from Dancing Ledge to Swanage.

Whilst it has been a bit of a while since I walked these, I thought I'd take the time to post a bit about the coast path around the Swanage area, at the start point, which is just west of the chain link ferry that takes you across the mouth of the Poole harbour, to Dancing Ledge which is an amazing part of the world. The videos can be found below, or click for day 1 and day 2 on YouTube, respectively.

Wales 2022: Lakes, Climbing Snowdon, and Caving

This is the second and final instalment for the Wales 2022 trip. In this one, we go to Llyn Padarn, one of the largest lakes for swimming in Snowdon, climb Mt. Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa as the Welsh like to call it) on the Ranger Path, then go caving underground at Zip World in LLechwedd, whilst Jack goes off and looks at a castle somewhere.

South West Coast Path: Pentireglaze Mines to Watergate Bay

This video series comes from my January trip with Dad to Cornwall to smash out yet another bit of the coast path. I didn't post the earlier ones here, mainly because I didn't yet have a functional blog, but they are available on the YouTube playlist.

Here's the latest one, where we walk from Watergate Bay to Porthcothan:

Why Here?

We picked this bit of the coast path to do based on Dad's research as to the more flat bits, as at the time, he was having issues with his foot and wanted to take it easy.

Wales 2022 Day 1&2: Travelling up and Climbing Moel Hebog

Almost 2 years after the trip, I've finally finished editing the first episode! In this one, we drive up from Salisbury to Wales, stopping off in the Beacons on the way. On the second day, we climb Moel Hebog, which is the mountain overlooking the campsite.

EURO 2 - Days 3 & 4

In the morning of the Tuesday, we woke up to a broken hard drive :( which was not good at all. We were very chilly in the morning and so it was a welcome surprise when the sun came out. We spent the morning at the campsite and did some droning before we set off on a short journey to a place which was about an hour south of Cléuger.

EURO 2 - Days 1 & 2

So on friday night (7th April), my dad, my brother and I embarked on a journey of a lifetime. (Just kidding).

We set off on friday at about 5pm, ready to get to the port of newhaven for 11. We had McDonalds and prepared for the 3 hours of sleep which we'd be lucky to get on the ferry. At around 4 in the morning, we got off the ferry and drove for about an hour to a small Aire in the middle of nowhere where we managed to get another couple of hours sleep.
