This is why we ditched the caravan
Can two pensioners climb the Meibion Owen Cairn? We give it our best effort before heading into Newport on the search for breakfast. No luck there so it was lunch at the Cat Rock cafe instead - mmm dirty fries!
It turned into a glorious afternoon so after walking the length of Newport Beach we drove down onto the sands to relax in the sun.
That evening we drive up into the Preseli Hills and find a beautiful viewpoint to watch the sunset and enjoy our dinner.
This episode was filmed 21st September 2021.

Hi Debby, thanks for watching. Glad to have you join us on our walks. Good luck with your recovery, we hope you can stay strong and our thoughts are with you 🙂❤️
Yes, we’re definitely always kids at heart, that’s where the excitement lives. The dirty fries looked delicious and those reflections in the sand looked like glass. Lovely to follow your relaxed day and for me this video captures beautifully what vanlife is all about. Thanks both x

We ve got 2 bamboo sticks in the van that we found in France, wouldn't go for a walk/little climb without them now, it like having 3 legs like a milking stool, I feel much more stable. Walking sticks are a great idea.! 🚶♀️🚶♂️🌷
Ahh my favourite place in all the world! We found Newport when I was an archaeology student as there is plenty of prehistoric stuff nearby. We would spend all the summer there in our caravan on Dinas Island (with me commuting to Swansea to work every few days). You visited all our best places and even the viewpoint where we would eat fish and chips and watch the sunset! In high summer, on a clear evening, you can watch the sun set over Ireland and as it dips down over the horizon you can see the Irish mountains backlit. We really enjoyed this one, fab film!
