Anna and I, therefore, spent another morning tackling the next short section. It was a gorgeous sunny day with no wind. The sea looked amazing on the drive down, with barely a ripple disturbing its surface and no swell rolling into the coast. The blue skies and sunshine were quite uncharacteristic for Wales, especially considering the summer we&#8217;ve had so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the lovely conditions, it wasn&#8217;t ideal for running as it was too hot for me. In theory, I could have finished the entire circumnavigation today by completing the 17 miles from here to Llanrhystud, where I started all those years ago. However, I&#8217;m not in a hurry to finish as I don&#8217;t have a new project lined up yet (post your suggestions in the comments!). In some ways, it&#8217;ll be a shame when it&#8217;s all over. Breaking this final portion into two sections seemed like the sensible thing to do. It would make for an easier day today, which I was thankful for given the temperatures. It also meant Anna wouldn&#8217;t have to wait around for too long, and I&#8217;d have another chance to enjoy the final stage next time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwmtydu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwmtydu.jpg\" alt=\"Cwmtydu\" class=\"wp-image-43357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwmtydu.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwmtydu-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cwmtydu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Cwmtydu looked lovely with the sea gently lapping on the pebbly beach.

The path here dropped down into a little valley and crossed a bridge over the river. Despite being a bit remote, there was a defibrillator at the end of the bridge\u2014maybe a sign of the steepness of the climbs back onto the cliffs. I took a short breather at the top once again and took a photo looking back to where I had come from. I met a few runners going the opposite way as I crossed the bridge, and you can just about make them out in the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:38.99690%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Into Cwm Silio\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"43362\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=43362\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Descent.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:22.00620%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Defib.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Defib.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Defib.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=650&#038;ssl=1 650w\" alt=\"Defib\" data-height=\"867\" data-id=\"43363\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=43363\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Defib.jpg\" data-width=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Defib.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 2 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:38.99690%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Cwm Silio Beach\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"43364\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=43364\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cwm-Silio.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 3 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, the expanse of Cardigan Bay opened out before me.

There were people everywhere. I stopped at a caf\u00e9, filled up my Camelpak with water\u2014I did indeed need more than a liter\u2014and then made my way through the streets, up the hill, and out onto a few little alleys that took me back onto the path where there was thankfully some shade from the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After running through the woodland for a while, the path dropped down onto the beach. The tide was low, so it was easy going on hard-packed sand, and there was even a very gentle cooling breeze. People were building sandcastles, walking dogs, sunbathing, and swimming. It was a perfect beach day. I ran past them all and made it to the little breakwater at the end of the beach. I stopped to cool off in the river here and then headed off into the woods around Cei Bach Country Club and back out onto cliff-top paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next section was characterized by a couple of perfect wild-camping spots. The first was at Afon Drywi, where there was plenty of room for several tents in a nice little sheltered valley with some nice pools for bathing. The water was looking a little dirty today, but there was a sign saying it was due to natural sediments. In weather like this, it would be lovely to camp here and soak in the pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.95572%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Perfect Camping Spots\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"43368\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=43368\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Perfect-Camping-spots.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 2 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.04428%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pools.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pools.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pools.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=650&#038;ssl=1 650w\" alt=\"Pools\" data-height=\"867\" data-id=\"43369\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=43369\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pools.jpg\" data-width=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Pools.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 2 of 2 in full-screen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while on the cliffs, I had to go around Gilfach Holiday Village and then climb up a hill on the road in the now baking sun.
