Splendid (Self) Isolation on Range West
We’ve posted a few Pembroke reports over the last year or two, often featuring the juggling and compromise required to balance all the permutations of seacliff climbing on a military […]
South West Seacliffs – #3 Pembroke
… and all of a sudden, it was summer! After the washout-that-wasn’t on Gower we headed further west to Pembroke to meet up with Jake and Leah for the weekend. […]
Chilly “Up North” (Pembroke)
With our brave boys having resumed firing on The Range (great to know we’ll be well prepared if the Russians decide on a beach landing in south Wales!) we shifted […]
Wild West
The cruddy forecast across the whole of the UK barely merited packing the van, but a month of cabin fever had me gently twisting Helen’s arm to brave the damp […]
Pembroke – Way Out West!
Our Pembroke trip was one of those spontaneous “it’s too nice to be at home, where shall we go” efforts, so it was a happy surprise when I realised that […]
Missing Link, St David’s Head, Pembroke
We usually try to time any long journeys to the crag in weather windows unsuitable for climbing – normally ending up driving in the rain, but our trip to Pembroke […]
Pembroke Rucksack Club Meet – Part 2
The “late shift” of Martin, Dave, Helen, Jim and Claire arrived on Monday to keep the buzz going for another week, bringing a welcome improvement in the weather with them! […]
Pembroke Rucksack Club Meet – Part I
Jack’s official meet started on the Thursday before the Bank Holiday weekend, so Paul, Jake and I took advantage of the extended window to beat the inevitable traffic and get […]
St David’s South – Carreg-y-Barcud and Velvet Wall
In stark contrast to the gabbro granite on St David’s Head itself St David’s Head – Craig Coetan and South Buttress The climbing along the coastline to the south of […]
St David’s Head – Craig Coetan and South Buttress
More rain on Sunday, with the weather system blowing in from the Atlantic, so we had the idea to attempt an outflanking manoeuvre and head to North Pembroke – we […]
Range West
It’s been an undeniably dreadful year, so it seems almost perverse to flag up the occasional positive from the pandemic, like neighbourliness, vaccines and birdsong. There have also been huge […]
Mother Carey’s and No Man’s Zawn – a Pan Odyssey
Regular blog followers will know I’m a bit of a ticker (feel free to insert the word “sad”) and I’ve been gradually working my way through the routes featured in […]
Range East
May is a great window for a trip to Pembroke (apart from being peak firing season!) Jake and Leah managed to get a few days off so we hatched a […]
Swordfish – Stackpole Head
There’s really no excuse for visiting Pembroke in August and going to a crag that isn’t bird banned the rest of the year. Stackpole Head is one of the major […]
Deep Throat and a Monster Whipper
That got your attention! But rest assured that RockAroundTheWorld hasn’t morphed into a sleaze site; the title accurately reflects the highlights of the first couple of days of another visit […]
Giltar Slabs – Penally East
We only discovered the climbing around Penally last year, so had plenty more of this quiet Pembrokeshire backwater to explore. Only a mile or so east of Mother Carey’s, Penally […]
A Chance Encounter with the hardest HVS in the world, and more Mowing Word
Something old and something new for today’s itinerary – the boys fancied Mowing Word which we were happy to go along with despite a few recent visits ( https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2019/04/18/mowing-word-2/ https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2019/07/01/stand-by-to-boogie-more-mowing-word-fun/) […]
There’ll be a welcome at the seaside – Pembroke’s open for business!
With restrictions easing in Scotland and Wales we had a choice to make for the next stage of getting RockAroundTheWorld back on the road. In the end, the forecast made […]
Three Falls heading into New Brunswick, Canada
Got your attention there, but I’m afraid there was no actual falling involved. After two weeks of great weather, and 13 days of back-to-back climbing, we had the first really […]
