Perilous point There is some inconsistency between different versions of the Ordnance Survey as to whether this or the next headland is Pen Sidan. Either way, the only reason for scrambling down here was to claim another green square! It's very steep and accessible only via paths made by sheep - and even they sometimes come a cropper, as reported in the local newspaper recently:

"Things went a bit woolly for Fishguard's inshore lifeboat crew yesterday afternoon, as they had a sheep on board.
The animal had become stranded at the bottom of a cliff near Dinas Head. Fishguard coastguard rescue team was also called to the scene.
The baaad sheep was helped aboard the inshore lifeboat, who landed in a safe place. They then delivered the animal to the coastguard team who took her back to the farmer."

Gull's egg The egg has been broken into and the torn shell left lying in the grass. Another bird is most likely to have been the culprit.
