Weekend Warrior

Well, after a really good windsurf session on Friday and the promise of more of the same over the weekend, the wind never quite delivered. Isn’t that always the way? It teased me all weekend, picking up to just enough now and then, only to drop off again. A Hard Bike Ride I’ve learnt the...

Playing at the Weekend

I was all geared up for my first proper down-winder on the surf ski this weekend. The forecast was looking good. There was supposed to be quite a bit of wind. It was supposed to be southerly and there should be some swell with it as well. OK, rain was forecast too, but if the...

Beach Days

Another lovely weekend. Even making plans for a day on the beach with friends didn’t jinx the weather! I decided to have a rest day as far as training was concerned but as I was up early with nothing to do decided to start cleaning. A few hours later and the house was sparkling, even the...

More Snorkelling

Just a quick video today as we managed to press the wrong buttons on the GoPro do missed much of the snorkelling action today. All of the diving and swimming around under the water, the lobster, the blennies and the clear blue seas failed to record as we were just taking random snapshots rather than...

Ski & Surf

I finally got Morgan out in the surf again yesterday. Time to try out his new wetsuit, new gloves, new boots, new hood and new surfboard. It was a little bigger out there than it looks from the video and the GoPro angle is a bit off but I still got some footage, including a...

K’Nex Roller Coaster

It wouldn’t be Christmas without the building of toys. Mind you, as Morgan gets older and technology takes over his life it’s harder than ever to prise him away from the screen. The fact that he had an X Box for Christmas didn’t help with this but I did manage to get him to help me build...

Fun in the Snow

After a quick trip back from Bluestone at the weekend we couldn’t wait to get out and play in the snow. There was plenty in the hills around Aberystwyth so we didn’t have to go far to find it. Morgan and I donned our snow-gear, dug the snow-board out of the shed and headed off to the...
