We’re all busy people and there are never enough hours in the day to fit everything in. I think I do better than most people though. Despite having a young family, a job, running my own business and all the usual chores to do I still mangae plenty of recreation time by maximising my time....

Kiting at Ynyslas

Half term here again already, so after making camp chairs in the morning Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his kite and the GoPro. Last time we tried this it started pouring with rain. This time it was much better, the wind was better and there were even a few small patches...

Aerial Kite Photography

Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...

Good Friday Kite Flying

Alan Cole — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 17:05:34 +0000

After a week or so of glorious weather, sun tans, shorts and busy bee-keeping, a sudden plunge back into temperatures below freezing, icy winds and snow on the hills just in time for the school holidays was a bit of a shock. Needless to say, this coupled with the fact that I was ill meant...

[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ummer’s back and Morgan has been out flying his kite on the beach here at Ynyslas… It was a little too windy for him so I had to rescue him as he got dragged down the beach. He seemed to enjoy it though.

Learning to Fly a Kite in Wales

Morgan is doing well with his kite-flying now. It took him a couple of attempts and to start with he didn’t really persevere . His first couple of goes only lasted a couple of minutes each, but I didn’t want to force him to do it so just left it at that each time. He...

[dropcap]U[/dropcap]nable to get out on the water at the weekend having just come out of the cardiac monitoring unit at Bronglais Hospital (more on this some other time), I did manage to walk across to the beach and take some photos of Andy and Rich enjoying the unexpected afternoon North-westerly. The winds weren’t that strong...
