The tales of my Wales Adventure Weekend: [Preseli Adventures in Pembrokeshire]
With the sun shining on the Welsh ocean, I bopped up and down in the water like a seal. Helmet and wetsuit to aid me in my adventure I swam in the ocean, got pushed against rocks in the caves by the waves, climbed the cliffs and joyously jumped off of them. In other words, I went coasteering. This 2-hour experience was probably one of the best moments of my life. I felt completely free in the middle of the ocean, exploring the dark caverns and caves and letting the waves crash upon me. I also happen to love adrenaline rushes so jumping off the cliffs into the water below was quite fun.
We returned back to our eco-lodge for a filling lunch and tea and biscuits as well and then suited up again in different wetsuits and gear for sea kayaking. I have kayaked many times before so it was a nice little time. We even got to play water polo in our sea kayaks! I never knew I was so competitive, I almost knocked a few girls off of their kayaks.
After our day out at sea we returned back to the lodge, took hot showers and went down to a home cooked dinner. Delicious. Then we just sat around by the fire and played games all night long. The perfect end to the perfect day.
The next morning I woke up to a beautiful breakfast and then went on a 7 mile hike along the coastal cliffs of Wales. I walked high along the cliffs with the ocean views below me. I'm not sure If I have ever seen such beautiful views in my life before. most of my pictures above are from my hike but even the pictures don't do the landscape justice. It was just magnificent. The cliffs and ocean on one side of me and then rolling fields and hills with cows and sheep grazing on the other side.
The hike was the last part of my adventure weekend and we returned to lunch and then went to pack up our suitcases for the 6 hour train ride back. I met many wonderful friends on this adventure and had the most marvelous time adventuring and stripping away all my material goods to just live simply for a weekend in the countryside of Wales!
I highly recommend everyone to take a little venture over to Wales and do a Preseli adventure! The guides were so great and it really was one of the best times of my life.
