May 27, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

St David’s Head – Craig Coetan and South Buttress

May 26, 2021by Dominic 1 Comment

Range West

May 22, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Swordfish – Stackpole Head

August 3, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Giltar Slabs – Penally East

July 22, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

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

July 21, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

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/) […]

The Lobster Pot and Morfa Bychan – two contrasting crags

July 8, 2019by Dominic Leave a comment

St Govans East

July 4, 2019by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Penally – Pembroke off the beaten track

July 3, 2019by Dominic Leave a comment

Sunny Scareys

Mother Carey’s
