Despite being too thorough in my evaluation of Welsh Real Ale the night before (LOL), I couldn't waste the opportunity of an early morning walk through the forest and sand dunes on the Gower.

This is pretty much the view (inland) from our 'hotel' - well, simple basecamp then.

The sun just broke through cloud for a moment to catch the 'Alpine' style house in the small village across the marsh. But the sunshine soon went.
