Mrs P.L.'s Walking Challenge: Day 30

Tonight was the final night of my better half's walking challenge. Leaving the house at 6.30, we got home at two minutes to midnight to maximise her step. Here are tonight's pics from the walk.

This friendly feline was a firm favourite sight of this evening's 23k step challenge.

The Brunswick was the penultimate beverage of the month-long step count. Very quiet tonight, but a real cosy boozer.

We then headed to the No-Sign so Mrs P.L. could finally taster her fist Murphy's in years.

The bartender lit the fire for which, which although was a little too comforting...

...Which meant we had to skidaddle to make every step count by walking all the way home by midnight. This was not helped by tonight being the start of Divali, which illuminated Swansea Bay by a mesmerising display of firework.

Reaching The Uplands, the lateness of the hour made us forego our planned last beverage of the night and up our pace dramatically as we hit the hill!

I was exhausted by the time we made it to our door and piled into our house. My ring-toes were sore on each foot, but Mrs P.L. was happy with the final step count. And despite the enjoyment and cool sights of the past 30 nights, we were both looking forward to spending some evenings at home 🙂

There is a definite chill creeping into the night and this late evening's walk necessitated a hat, hoody and winter coat to combat the cold.

After my research/writing session, I met up with my lovely better half to do a whopping 20k step walk:

My wife's walking challenge is coming to close this weekend. I never thought I'd admit it, but I gonna miss them. I feel a lot healthier from the nightly walks that have filled my time. And I have also enjoyed out pub and bar visits. I have some overtime this weekend to help pay for all our meals and drinks we have consume whilst exploring.

Birthday Bro

My brother's birthday, so we took advantage of the location to take a stroll along the marsh road from Crofty to Llanrhidian we we took refreshments in the Welcone to Town Inn. Too dark for many fotos tho:

Fishguard

Took a visit to Fishguard today to see the Spanish galleon anchored there. Gutted I couldn't ticket this off my Bucket List though as it's sails were folded and my wish is to see a galleion in full sail out at sea. Never mind...

As has been the norm for our walks lately, the weather was extremelt pleasant and it very much felt like a summer's day that it approaching the middle of October.

Anyway, here is the galleon:

A beauty, eh?

After our wander around its decks, we continued our walk, taking regular stops to eat and drink along the way:

After over 25k steps, it was time to head home...
