    Rocket house is a new one on me. Thx for that. I knew there was a rocket company that fired rockets at the Samtampa but because of the strength of the gale they blew back over their heads.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, all the cliffs are quite unstable near the edge but if you stick to the coast path you will be fine. I did stop in the pub in Monknash - The Plough & Harrow

    I couldn't stop laughing at the horses. Also if the ticks are anything like they are here, you are right to be paranoid and cover up to avoid them.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Call me the Horse Whisperer. I don't think the ticks are as bad as many other places but I've heard more stories of people getting them over the last few summers.

    Another fantastic walk, full of local knowledge and history, unmatched (your content & presentation that is not the walk?) the road back is a bit hairy, with the tall edges.

    • @flydriveexplore

      Many thanks! Yes, watch those edges.

    Hello Marcus.
    Really enjoyed this one.
    Love the Welsh coast and used to spend a lot of time around Southerndown.
    We lived at the Star (Market Street) in Bridgend before moving to Porthcawl and pubs closed on Sunday, so we always had a trip somewhere in Dad's Wolsley.
    Still, you managed to show a lot of new stuff.
    Thanks.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, there is a lot to see around this part of the coast.

    Very interesting,you should have used one of the horses to carry your equipment it would have made the journey easier.There’s a replacement window firm from Bridgend and they’re called Dunraven perhaps that’s where they get the name from.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, that's probably where they taken the name from. Although, I wish their sales reps would stop bothering me when I visit the shops at Mcarthur Glen

    For Monknash as a driver you'd normally park by the farm.
    People tell me that Monk is an unofficial nudist beach.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luckily I didn't encounter any unofficial nudists! The beach was quite busy with families when I visited.
