Trad climbing trip to Pembroke (UK) by train and bike

Pembroke is a very popular UK climbing destination for trad climbing and while the best of it is in the Extreme grades we also found plenty of quality at a more moderate level especially around the HVS mark. Arguably the greatest appeal of Pembroke is the situation and exposure of the climbing with a mixture of walkable ledges with a cragging feel metres from the waves and committing ab-in lines that require careful awareness of the tides. It is an excellent destination for a bike trip as cycling along the coast path reduces walk-in times to practically zero and the cycle to and from the station is possible even for average cyclists with heavy gear and non-specialist bikes.
