Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It was the second of the two annual windsurf demo days at Aberdovey this weekend. Basically, Boardwise and a load of windsurf manufacturers turn up with lots of new boards and sails for us to try. There are usuaully a few celebrities from the windsurf world there too. Despite the fact that it is only...
Well, I’m finally feeling as though its time to get back on track and start training again. It’s taken a while as it has been over 2 months since I was in hospital and I’m still not feeling 100%, but I can take it no more. I just need to get out on my bike...
Well done to all those who competed in the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge today. It looked like a great event with good conditions. I hope you put in a time to be proud of. I was the photographer part way up Pendinas and then again on the prom and managed to get some good shots...
Finally after a couple of months off I got back on board and out for a windsurf session at Ynyslas today. Conditions were good as well with a 25-35 knot wind and some nice little waves. There were plenty of kite-surfers out as well and four windusrfers in total. I took my waterproof camera with...

Well done to all those who competed in the Forest of Dean Enduro today. It looked like a great event with perfect conditions. The dry, dusty singletrack looked amazing. I’m still under doctors orders not to ride in such things so I took a whole load of photos instead and they are now online ready...
Right, I’m now officially fed up with not being able to get out on my bike or do any exercise! I’m getting fat and unfit (which can’t be good for my heart) and I’m lacking in endorphins! I had an echocardiogram about a month ago and I’m waiting to see the consultant to hear the...
I’m not sure what the weather is going to yet on Sunday, but the Forest of Dean Enduro is on, so I may make a day of it and travel down to the Forest of Dean to take some photos. I’m still not up to competing myself, so the next best thing is to make...
The WSSR (World Speed Sailing Record Council) have today ratified two new world records set by l’Hydroptere. The overall 500m record is now an amazing 51.36 knots, and the 1 nautical mile record is 48.74knots. Amazing stuff. The records were set on Sept 4th in a 28 knot wind. The tri-maran built specifically to challenge...
