A busy bank holiday weekend in Pembrokeshire finished off an awesome week, the weather was mostly good after the large swell from the previous weekend cleared, and I had the pleasure of some lovely company whilst working.
A day at Newton Head with a family of keen novices in glorious sunshine started the week. Warm, sunny and some great climbs made for a top day. They all pushed their limits both climbing and abseiling, and with the crag to ourselves on such a fine day it was a great day at work, finishing with an ice-cream in the sun!

After a couple of days off and some personal climbing in North Pembrokeshire, I was working the weekend for TYF. The bank holiday weekend, especially when the weather’s good, is the busiest time of year in Pembs, so you often have to work hard to avoid the crowds…

We climbed at Porth Clais and at Pen y Cyfrwy, and somehow each time had the crags to ourselves. The sun shone, the groups were awesome and motivated and keen to immerse themselves in the environment and full of questions about what was around us. As usual a great few days working in Pembrokeshire! Now the bank holiday’s finished and most of the bird bans have lifted I’m really excited to get out on some of the crags where I’ve had my eye on new routes!
