"Many visits to this wonderful place, including 50th birthday party”
"Coming back to Welsh roots. Wonderful.”
"The reason I came to Worms Head is because of Susan Howarth's book The Wheel of Fortune and based on notes I received from the author.”

Some are grateful:
"Lovely place, lovely people.”
"Thanks for the enthusiasm with the children”
"Fantastic view and a very necessary service. Amazing volunteers”
"Thanks for being here. Protect this beauty.”
"Fantastic informative morning.”
"Thanks for shelter for us – and the woodlice!”

Some are directly related to what we do:
"If only you had been here when my Mum was stranded on the Worm about 10 years ago” (Mum didn't like that one!)
A couple from Calgary, Alberta,Canada did get cut off (well, there's no sea at Calgary).
She wrote "Insanity came over me and I experienced soaking wet clothes.”
He wrote "Interesting adventure – we were quite lucky. Thank you very much for help and a warm cup of tea.”

Some are interesting:
"General of the National Guard, Saudi Arabia”
"My father was involved in the dismantling of HMS Vanguard in the late 1940s. One of the cabin lights was removed and used as a bedroom light from 1955 until 1969 when it was lost in a move.”
"Spotted Rank tall ship HMS Nelson for students with disability.”
"Our son-in-law works for the Canadian Coastguard in Prince Rupert, B.C., Canada.”
"I live near the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides in the world “ - the only ones higher than here.
"Bigger tides than the Pilbara in Western Australia. Check the Horizontal Falls, Kimberley, Western Australia.”
And our youngest-ever visitor, of an Indian family living in Swansea:
"Emily Jane Negi, aged 5 weeks. Thanks so much for the great opportunity – especially for my sisters (over from India, who had never seen the sea before) and the new-born baby. Hope to see you again with Emily.”

And some are just fascinating:
"The last time we passed Worms Head we were paddling our canoes around Wales from the Severn Bridge to the Dee in Chester.”
"Monitoring the Quatenary GCR site on Worms Head Middle Island to record the stratigraphy of the glacial and post-glacial deposits, showing evidence of the last glacial advance and the previous warm spell on the 'Patella-raised beach'.” He was describing the evidence of two Ice Ages, with a 'warm spell' in between. He said that if one found small shiny black pebbles on the Worm they could have been carried here by the ice shelf (which stopped just south of the Worm) all the way from the Giant's Causeway.

We have also had two separate couples who got engaged on the Outer Head of the Worm and came in so that they could find someone to tell. Nothing memorable was recorded but we were very touched!
