Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’m not doing too well with my mission to re-gain some fitness. I obviously lost loads of fitness after my heart attack but have been trying to regain at least some of it ever since. Recovery Initially I was unable to do anything other than some short walks. I’d been through quite a trauma. There...
People have been asking for updates on my heart attack recovery progress. There isn’t a huge amount to report here yet. As you can imagine, I haven’t really been doing much so don’t have much to blog about. I have been chilling on the patio in the sunshine though. I am feeling a little better...
With a new rucksack to try out, and what looked like a break in the weather I decided to head off on a wild-camping adventure on Monday. I don’t officially work on Mondays or Tuesdays, but often end up doing so, especially if I’m at home. A couple of days in the hills would mean...

I’ve just realised that I haven’t blogged for a while and haven’t posted to say that I went windsurfing at the weekend. So, I had a decent windsurf session here at Ynyslas on Saturday. Steve came down for the day and we spent the morning blasting about in some big seas and a decent SW...
The Memories section of Facebook is awash with big events for me in June. There are happy memories of becoming European Triathlon Champion and not such happy memories of a massive heart attack. Anna decided to celebrate the fact that I’d survived the latter, and that I was still here by buying me a present....
The last time I was on the Isle of Man I started running around the Coast Path. The Raad Ny Foillan (Way of the Gull) is the island’s premier long-distance path at around 100 miles. Officially opened in 2018 it quickly became one of the most popular walking routes in the British Isles. The path...
I don’t know where that came from, but I had a fairly fast run around the Boat Yard Loop on Sunday morning. Not fast in anyone else’s books or fast by my previous standards, but fairly fast in post-heart attack times. I wasn’t planning on going fast and was feeling a little stiff from my...

OMM… no, I haven’t taken up some sort of Hindu spiritual chanting! I have however been talked into signing up for the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). I’m not taking full responsibility of course, it’s all Lawrence’s fault. He twisted my arm and badgered me into saying I’d do it with him. It started with a...
