Tour of Wales Day 3 - Gower to Saundersfoot - 70 miles
After a good stop at the Three Cliffs campsite - yurts an option! - we continued on our journey. A hilly first few miles back to Route 4. A fine ride through wetlands, then across to the waterfront by Llanelli. Some very fancy new homes by the shoreline. We stopped at the Visitor Centre cafe for coffees, and got back into our morning groove of two cakes each (purely for their calorific value.
Next, on to Camarthen, and a further feeding station. This time it was Tesco’s cafe for a ‘Big Breakfast’ - marvellous, but not to be continued after the trip.
The afternoon ride could be described as being extremely undulating. I stopped at one stage, in desperate need of flapjack and chocolate shortbread. Finally, after all the afternoon hills, we found ourselves down at sea level, riding through a series of tunnels into Saundersfoot. The downside was that the campsite was at the top of the hill - yet another monster climb.
A quick pitch of tents, then back down the hill to the pub for tea.
