Rhossili Take 2

So we went to Rhossili several weeks ago, but the tide was about to come in over this whole area so we decided not to risk it.


Well today we went back to brave the climb!


This jutting outcropping of rock is called The Worm's Head.



Fellow fans of Avatar the Last Airbender may see some similarities to the Serpent's Pass.


The weather started out grey and rather chilly...







...but warmed considerably when the sun returned.







This rock arch is the only high road to the very edge of the Worm's Head.


Roommate Jackson poses for a profile pic opportunity in front of the arch.


Our friend Alvihlde doesn't know we're taking these candid photos from under the arch. Jackson decided to come join us down the slope on the right. cast mostly in shadow. Crazy.


Not to be outdone, I decided to go through some less obvious paths to the underarch.


For this sight that few have seen.


We discovered a previously untapped precious resource in the world of comfort: this airy, fluffy, windblown island grass will henceforth and forever be known as "Hobbit Grass," as the Shirefolk no doubt stuff their mattresses with the stuff and sleep far more comfortably than we!


After a long trek...


...with many ups and downs...


...but mostly ups...


And more ups


And ups


We made it! 


#totally worth it
