It may seem like an extravangance to buy two new windsurf boards, and it would be. That’s why I’ve bought these two 2nd hand windsurf boards – even that is quite a considerable investment as boards don’t come cheap these days. In my defence they were to replace and in some ways supplement boards that...
Following my recent scramble on Tryfan and Bristly Ridge I received a Facebook Comment from an old university friend saying: “Always wanted to do this route! Good to see you better.” Then, last week, Mike, that same university friend messaged me saying: “Heading to Tryfan / Bristley Ridge on the 10th Sept if you fancy...

The main reason for it was so that I could continue some Coast Path run, but it was also a nice opportunity to get away for a few days for some sight-seeing, some relaxation and some good food. Morgan was obvously not interested...
