What a week!


I'm alive and telling the tale, so it's a happy ending (for me, at least!)

Had our week in West Wales again and I did some more of my personal Pembrokeshire coastal bike route. I had 2 brilliant days of cycling (Monday & Wednesday) covered over 50 miles of part sealed and part off-road and thought I was going to squeeze a 3rd. Found a handful of particularly noteworthy tracks. Then Wednesday evening went down with the most awful bout of food poisoning or something. Had all the symptoms plus some. Even fever and surreal hallucinatory dreams. I wasn't even sure I'd be up to driving back, but did manage it this morning. Even now I'm nowhere near 100%. Plus side: I've probably lost even more weight!!!

The picture above is from the Newport Bay section of my route. As these hills started to stack up in front of me I thought, "I've not planned to go up those have I!? Hmm, looks like I have? I'll take some photos just in case" True enough that's where I was headed.
