Up Carningli

(north Pembrokeshire 7/5/19)

Beautiful lush green peaceful Gwaun Valley:
walk up through woods of birdsong
on to the heathland –
bilberry, gorse, heather beginning to green –
higher up – stunted growth or bare;
notes of a cuckoo echoing
from time to time
from down below
reach the gentle top
sea below on the other side,
and snub nose of Dinas Head
pointing out, and Newport Sands;
scramble up the path through the
highest pile of rocks to
the ‘crow’s nest’ with 360° views
from just over 1000 feet above sea level:
careful!
