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! […]

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 […]
In stark contrast to the gabbro granite on St David’s Head itself https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2021/05/26/st-davids-head-craig-coetan-and-south-buttress/ The climbing along the coastline to the south of the St David’s (the UK’s smallest city, if […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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/) […]
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 […]
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 […]
In search of some steepness, we planned to leave north Pembroke and head for Gower via an exploratory visit to Morfa Bychan on the Carmarthenshire coast. The only flaw being […]
It’s hard to understand why St Govans East is so much less popular than its more celebrated neighbour – for the sake of another 100m walk you might well have […]
Having made a Pembroke Pilgrimage at least annually for the last 30 years or so, there aren’t too many unexplored areas for us, especially ones that aren’t affected by bird […]
Another favourite spot to avoid bombs and bird bans, so no surprise to find a number of teams with the same idea of a visit to Mother Carey’s. Here’s Helen […]
Summer has finally arrived and Helen and I are back in Pembroke, this time in the company of Steve and James. It’s mid week and outside the school holidays, so […]
Having had the crags to ourselves, and an almost deserted campsite, the hoards began to descend on Thursday night and by Friday morning the Bosherston camping field was transformed. Plenty […]
Almost exactly a year on from my last visit with Jake, Jim and I enjoyed another grand day on Mowing Word – it really is a great bonus to have […]
