Been a while since I've posted, so thought I'd add these pics I took from wet and wild  North Pembrokeshire last week.  I'm staying true to my promise of a naked swim in the sea every month this year, although it's certainly a lot easier at this time of year...

Tucked away well off the beaten track between Dinas and Newport, I managed a naked swim here ( Aber Rhigian ) every morning, even in the most vile weather. Being north facing, it remained totally sheltered even when the (southerly) wind was blowing a near gale. You'll have to take my word for it, but it's beautifully clear and blue when the sun pops out.  😉

Access is a twenty minute walk from the road, down a hidden valley with waterfall.  Also accessible from the coast path between Cwm Yr Eglyws and Newport - this means a steady trickle of walkers, especialy on a nice day, but I didn't encounter anyone at all during my swims which were mostly before 9 a.m.

What a lovely remote spot. Thanks for uploading your pics.  Flickr & Geograph also have a some good shots of this beach & surrounding area.

Looks wonderful.  I did a 'swim once a month' thing off the Welsh coast in 2009.  February was the worst ! November and December weren't too bad. Good luck with it.

Here's the waterfall - more of a sit in rather than stand under.  It was raining heavily one day, so I stripped off and sat in it for a while.
