Race-the-sun write-up Part 11 - Made it!

This compass rose on the beach at Whitesand's Bay points to various features in and around the bay. One of them is South Bishop Lighthouse. Those who appreciate the meditative cadences of the BBC Shipping Forecast - or indeed seafarers who need to listen to it - will be familiar with the name.

I arrived at Whitesands Bay, on the coast just outside St David's, to find the place buzzing with young people aiming for a beach bonfire (it was a little too large and ramshackle to call it a 'barbeque') and quite a few athletic types on surfboards. The weather turned wet and very windy, but none of them were deterred.
Me, I just put my helmet and gloves back on and sat down on the beach to wait for [the time of] sunset. They must have thought I was a right nutter, but with the helmet on, I couldn't see or hear them so it mattered not a jot.  The two guys I met at Lowestoft didn't show. They mentioned having booked a pitch at a local campsite, so I imagine they were not quite so mad after all and had decided to hunker down for the evening.


Despite having been lightly poached by the sun all afternoon in my all weather riding suit, there was nothing of it to be seen at sunset.


That's that, then. Around 400 miles and 15 hours. That includes a few of those involuntary detours, but it was still a very enjoyable day out.  I set off home straight after [the time of] sunset, stopping for the night at a Travelodge before hitting the M4 and A350 in the morning.

Now, as Bilbo said, I'm quite ready for another adventure.  Something ridiculous on that little scooter of mine, maybe. Do send suggestions.
