The north-easterlies of the last few days have abated a little, but this was still an uphill paddle. The North Pembrokeshire coast is more rugged and exposed than the south, and looks rather bleak until the afternoon sun shines on it. Put into the historic industrial haven of Porthgain for rest and refreshment, and then pressed on round the (rather boring) pillow lavas of Strumble Head, arriving in Newquay Old Harbour feeling very tired. Refreshed by a late lunch, I filed a revised trip plan with Milford Haven Coastguard and pressed on to St.Dogmaels, 
admiring the 
beauty of Dinas Head in the afternoon sun, and arriving at 2030, 13 hours after setting out from Whitesands.
