Having recently completed a circumnavigation of Wales on foot I decided I needed a new project to have on the back-burner. When I first set out on my journey to conquer the Wales Coast Path, I was fit, relatively young, and had the luxury of dedicating a day each week to it. But as life...
It’s been a while since I last hit the water, so I figured it was time to dust off my windsurfing skills and see if I could still hold my own out there. Plus, getting out on the water means I can keep legitimately calling myself a ‘windsurfer’! The conditions were perfect—warm waters, a decent...
