The walk between Dale and Milford Haven requires the crossing of two tidal inlets at Pickleridge and Sandy Haven. Both crossings are sufficiently flooded by the incoming tide to make them impassable at high tide. Pickleridge can only be safely crossed 3.5 hours either side of low tide and Sandy Haven can only be safely crossed within 2.5 hours either side of low tide.
Careful timing of your arrival at these inlets is therefore necessary to allow sufficient time (up to 2 hours) to walk the intervening 5 miles or so of coast between Pickleridge and Sandy Haven before the crossing becomes impassable. If you miss either there is no alternative crossing and in both cases a substantial 4 mile detour for each crossing is necessary or a long wait of up to 5.5 hours.
