Majoda on the Dylan Thomas Trail - Between Newquay and Aberaeron
I'm by the sign for Aberaeron 4 1/2 miles on the Wales Coast Path and about 1 - 2 miles from Newquay. I've been past the house where Dylan Thomas conceived the idea (perhaps) of Under Milkwood. It's called Majoda and is part of the local Dylan Thomas Trail.
I used to come to Newquay in my teens. I haven't been here for nearly 40 years. It's changed a bit but it's still a very pretty little port, stopped and had a coffee and looked at the harbour. It's a bit like a Welsh St Ives, smaller, about as many chip shops...?! It has a lovely feel to it.
Disappointingly the Wales Coast Path comes right inland away from the coast between Newquay and Cei Bach so I'm hoping this part of the trail takes you back to the coast again. You can walk along the beach when it's low tide, but it was high tide when I came through.
Each time the path comes away from the coast it's a little bit disappointing, but it does mean you look forward to getting back to it and I guess over time there will be more and more of the path that is on the coast.
In Pembrokeshire I was spoiled because it's nearly all on the coast, but that part of the path has been available for a long time, whereas in Ceredigion there are still negotiations to happen.
But it's all good. It's a lovely walk. I'm looking forward to getting to Aberaeron where I used to work in the Harbourmaster Hotel nearly 40 years ago and we're going there for dinner tonight.
It's the first place i ever heard of a burger with salad in the bun! On the menu it was called an AnnaBurger, because a staff member, Anna had been to the States and came back raving about burgers!

Lampeter Walks was about 7 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a combination of woodland and field paths and tracks plus some short road sections. The walking was generally easy on level or gently undulating ground except for one moderate ascent and descent. Route finding was easy with obvious paths, good waymarking and good landmarks. The woodland track by Penlan Goetre Cottage can be very muddy so walking along a parallel woodland path may be necessary. There were no stiles to negotiate.
