Overview

We'll walk along the coast path to Sker point, for coffee. Further along, we take a path through the undulating sand dunes to Kenfig pond for lunch. This path was flooded in places when we trailed it, so we had to 'off road' a bit.

Long trousers advised because of bracken / brambles.

Poles also advised if you use them.

Taking a different route back through the sand dunes, we rejoin the coast path back to the starting points.

A third stop point can be added on the route back if anyone requires it, so please keep something back for that.
