A nice ride along the Gower coast took us to Llanelli, where we fuelled up. I took the opportunity to add some air to Ginny's tyres as they looked and felt a little soft. Not easy to get the pressures right with warm tyres.
Whilst I was doing that, Grizzly went to Tesco to use the loo, his 5th movement! That's a record, even for him I think.
From Llanelli we had a short ride to Pembrey and a photo stop at the race track, the home of Welsh motorsport.
I know what you are thinking, a racing circuit and the Shadslow in the same photo!
From Pembrey to another P famous for motorsport, the world land speed records, Pendine Sands. It's easy to see why they chose here to fight it out. It's a fantastic beach.
There were two things of note from this visit. One, a low trailer lorry with a tank on the back, broken down halfway up the steepish hill out of the village. Two, the aerial assault on Grizzly from a seagull!
I had just crossed to meet him when I heard this noise and suddenly there was this mess on his shoulder. He thought I'd thrown something at him. I looked up but the culprit was nowhere to be seen, a stealth bomber. He was so lucky it didn't hit him slap bang on his head. I had to laugh 😅. Some good news though, a negative PCR test, so he's good to go home tomorrow
We continued round the coast, past the stricken tank, to Tenby. A particular favourite bit of beach was Amroth, where besides the golden sands, there's a castle right on the beach road.
We parked in the multistorey car park and took a walk. Tenby was heaving, like many seaside resorts we've passed through but this was another level. Social distancing, forget it. There's a fabulous beach there, so not hard to understand its popularity.
By the chippy, we came across this BSA chop. We did wonder how it would ride over some of the bumby single track roads we've encountered over the last few days. it's a NO from me.
From Tenby we made our way back to Carmarthen where we spent our last night of the tour.
As it was the last night, we splashed out on dinner, having a starter! Our end of tour meal went down a treat, washed down with the obligatory few pints.
Tomorrow we'll go our separate ways, Grizzly to Pembroke for his ferry, me back to Cardiff to drop in on my grandson again. We'll have a quick look round Carmarthen first though.
