Rhydderch -- Telyn
Welsh Music with Harp
I cycled to the city of St David’s and visited the wonderful cathedral after being told that the boat required to get over to the Ramsey Island RSPB Reserve would be at 10.00 a.m. on the next day.
Can there be a more impressive cathedral view in Britain? You come through the archway from the city, Britain's smallest city and walk down into the valley and there it is. Beautiful!
After deciding upon a camping position, I went down to watch sundown at St Justinians. I sat on a high headland and watched as Harbour Porpoise briefly and intermittently showed their small dark dorsal fins in Ramsey Sound and watched yet another lovely fiery sunset develop and fade. The effect on the calm waters, where the tide rip caused swirls and eddies, was to create a metallic feel, like a huge expanse of molten magenta Mercury.
I heard a Grasshopper Warbler [171] whilst cycling back to where
I was to pitch my tent, on the northern edge of a marshy area about a mile or
so inland of St Justinians. Here was an abandoned arty environmental project,
which still had the Welsh flag flying high and proud above it. The whole area
to the east of the lane was overgrown but one could still discern what had been
the original intention, with willow structures and some landscaping done to
attract wildlife. I camped within some of those straggly bushes, secluded and unable to be seen by any passing person.
