“Up and down like a stripper’s knickers” offered one participant. “Absolutely f**king horrible” spat a second. “SO MUCH FUN!” yelled a third.

I had never been to Pembrokeshire so the PCC provided a great opportunity to explore the area! It didn’t disappoint with beautiful coastal scenery including stunning beaches and picturesque coves. We were also treated to sightings of seals and seal pups! To add to the challenge we most certainly experienced ‘weather’ over the 3 days […]
