12 Professional cliff diving athletes may get the chance to sample the delights of the Pembrokeshire’s Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy near St Davids as part of the world series cliff diving championships in 2012.
Red Bull, who organise the event have been in discussion with the Outdoor Charter group, National Trust, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Coutryside Council for Wales and Pembrokeshire County Council to determine if the Blue Lagoon could be a new venue on the world circuit. If the World Series Cliff Diving event goes ahead it will be held on the 7th and 8th September 2012.
We’ve teamed up with the guys at The Welcome Traveller Inn near Haverfordwest to offer you a Coasteering staycation.
One nights accommodation, breakfast, lunch and an evening meal plus a Half-Day Coasteering Experience for £80 per person. The Welcome Traveller was recently featured on Channel 5′s The Hotel Inspector. This family run B&B is one of our favourites. It boasts a large restaurant/function room with bar, tv and a couple of relaxing sofa’s, a separate bar with pool table etc, clean, well-appointed en-suite rooms. If that’s not enough the food is super tasty, all cooked on-site by Geoff the Chef.
*Transport is not included, however the Welcome Traveller is easy to find and our Coasteering location is approx a 30 min drive up the coast.
Last week we caught up with Monty at Headland Farm, located just up the road from us in Ambleston. Situated 30mins from popular beaches and overlooked by the Preseli hills.

A super start to the Easter half term, sunshine, blue skies, plenty of waves and lovely people.
We had a variety of groups out Coasteering last weekend including families, stag do’s and birthday parties.
Super spring low tide this afternoon made for superb coasteering conditions.
The guys from Regenerate UK got stuck into the smaller jumps, getting a feel for falling
in style.
After a swim across the bay we headed through a cave and were met by a female seal. We spent a while watching her watching us watching her…..
The trip back through the cave had its ups and downs for some (literally) we timed it just right to catch some swell and almost body surfed out into the bay.
Following a spot of traversing, we worked our way up to the bigger cliff jumps. With a desent size swell running the guys had to time thier jump to be on the wave (smaller) or after it (bigger).
Another swim across the bay and we found ourselves marooned on a small island, pause for a pose, then off to the Blue Lagoon.
The top jump was a scream inducing 35ft. Having had our fill of falling with style we headed for the beach and a well earned coffee/ice cream from Matt’s van.
