1. Catch the 9:30 PM to Swansea and change for Carmathen.
2. Reach Carmathen at 1:30 AM to realise that the connecting train is only at 5 and the station is closing.
3. Go out to explore Carmathen town and startlingly find a doner kebab shop open which is open at 3 in the morning to serve "party customers" and is willing to save two starving souls.
4. Reach Haverfordwest at 5:30 to and wait for your bus to Pembrokeshire till 9. The station will be freezing but a cafe opens at 6 and will serve you delicious bacon and eggs.
6. At about 2 PM face the reality that you are miles away from civilization and must survive on peanuts and chocolates for lunch.7. Get chased by bulls (this is becoming pretty routine but believe me its extra special when your being chased on a cliff side).
8.Find a hippie campsite round 4 PM and get a few hotdogs off them.
9. Reach civilization at nightfall to be told there is no public transport to the rail station for London and you have to pay upwards of 25 pounds for a cab.
10. Have a beer.
11. Walk a bit more and set up camp on a cliff.
13. Wake up and hit the road to hitchhike it back to Haverfordwest.
14. Get abused by the first four drivers you ask for lifts only for the fifth one to offer you one himself.
16. Reach St. David's ridiculously early for your train and head off to Whitesands beach.
17. Have a sleep on the beach to make up the sleep debt (do sleep on your side; this way only your profile will face the sun and you'll have this cool two-face look because of sunburn when you wake up).
18. Take the train back to London to reach home at about 2 Am on Monday morning.
For the more enthusiastic, a pictorial guide can be found here.

Are you sure they were hippies and not gypsies? Gypsies would have been cooler.
One day your sins or a bull will catch up with you.
