A circular coastal walk and a wait for a 2pm opener
Back to Aberaeron, as we haven't ticked off the Good Beer Guide Entry.
The walk - a classic coastal romp across agricultural hills with a first. A footpath that runs directly through school grounds. A school that must be for young offenders, judging by the fortification. Gates firmly locked and we are told that the footpath re-routes to a lane during school hours.
We should have paid more attention to those signs you see taped to lampposts.

Civilisation is met at Aberarth - a collection of houses, a village hall but nothing providing liquid refreshment. We gain access to the coastal path, complete with warnings to stay away from the cliff edge and various landslips. A google of the minimum height definition for cliffs is required. We can't be more than 15ft from the beach.

Hit the town for 1pm. An hour to wait for good beer. Independent pet shops selling all sorts of things that you wouldn't think to give a dog. Guide dog in training Ivy showed no reticence, taking a chunk out of her yak milk chew before we had paid for it.
We are on holiday, so it is acceptable to sit outside a pub waiting for the scrape of the bolt. We won't the only ones with a thirst. A local with a pram full of chihuahuas will be our drinking partner today.

For the second time this week, I will let Quinno's Pubsgalore review summarise things.
I think this is my favourite pub in Aberaeron nowadays, keeps things simple but to a high standard.
A single roomer with nautical nick nacks, a log burner and friendly owners. A first chance to try Tenby Harbwr Sea Horse - an American IPA.
