On route to our second 2010 pilgrimage to the cathedral city of Tyddewi at the South West tip of Wales, we stopped off south at the Stackpole Estate for one of the finest walks in the World. The mix of freshwater lakes, small coves, stark cliffs and secluded beaches, with their associated views is breathtaking.
Basecamp nestled between St David's and the beach was in convenient proximity to Team Turton, reclining in oak-beamed spendour between Newgale and Solva. Wave Masters LFT and WT were able to go on daily swell hunting missions, while the more senior of us sought out new lands and seas to conquer via paddleboard. This led to some extreme sketching, jumping in, exploring coastal caves and natural arches and swimming in kelp forests; places that your average tourist would not even dream about. A view from 'our' island back towards Whitesand Beach is above, with the same view in one of Tim's 10 minute sketches below:

We watched an hilarious evening performance of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in the ruins of the Bishop's Palace and walked back under clear skies and a meteor shower. We rambled the coast path, soaking up the vistas, and watched a seal hunting along the shoreline in the ridiculous tidal race between Ramsay Island and the mainland, in the area known as 'The Bitches'. Luke proved to be the only person who was successful in the fishing department. He and Will took many strolls to the beach, including a night trip on the best shooting stars night. A superb trip all round. FT Films.
