Here is the full three days of a remarkable journey into the heart of Pembrokeshire.
The raking light points out the details: sparkling gobs of ironstone, brick purple-pink impurities, spiralling Fibonacci fossils, flint as black as a rook’s eye. As I walk along the wall towards the former abbey church I spot odd circular pieces of stone.
Every morning, before I set off for a photo shoot I have to get the van ready - it takes around 30 minutes to get it into ship shape.

I set off for Castlemartin (today's photo shoot) and the valleys are bottomed out with mist.
Here, whilst I make breakfast, I can see a cormorant on the lake - dipping beneath the glassy surface and appearing intermittently.
"I look at the buildings along the street - all the facades that we’ve come to know over the years have completely gone - erased."
As with all things photography based - nothing is set in stone - the weather plays a big part, of course, so I'll be revealing the places I'm visiting as we go along.
