After a weekend of flat water paddling in North Wales, I just couldn’t resist getting out for a play in the waves once I was home. Actually, I went for a run along Offa’s Dyke first, but I haven’t blogged about that yet. So, while you wait for the Offa’s Dyke blog post here are a...
The fact that things have been organised so that the Colwyn Bay Ski races and the Llyn Padarn Kayak Time Trials occur on the same weekend makes it worthwhile making the 2 hour trip to North Wales for me. Not that the 2 hour trip to North Wales isn’t always worthwhile. It always is and the...
This fix for a non-responsive Garmin Fenix 3 that I’m about to explain may not work for all situations but it seems to have helped me. The other day, my Garmin Fenix 3 that I love just decided not to turn on. I went to start a workout, saw the screen flash on and off...

It may be the depths of winter. It may be cold. It may we grey, damp and miserable. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun here at Ynyslas. Surf Skiing to Borth and back. Surf skiing in the waves. The first after work, sunset windsurf session of the year too. Near freezing temperatures and dark...
I don’t want to say that there are signs of Spring in the garden yet – It’s still a little early for that and it is looking quite wintry out there still but, there are some signs of late winter garden life. The birds are singing, there are blackbirds, robins and a little wren hopping around....
