Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
After an awesome day in the hills on Sunday morning, I was back home by around 2:30 pm and the surf was going off!! It was warm, the sun was shining and the waves were pumping. What better way to cool off after a run in the hills than jumping in the surf for what...
I finished my blog post about a walk in the Carneddau Hills with Rhys last Wednesday by saying: I can’t wait for the next adventure in the hills now. Summer is supposed to return for the weekend, so I’m half tempted to head back up to tick off a couple more of the Welsh 3000’s....
After a week or so of decidedly autumnal weather summer has returned. Temperatures were back up into the low 20’s the sun was shining and there was no wind at all… Typical seeing as it was the Boardwsie Demo Day at Aberdyfi! No wind means no chance to try out some new kit and no...
Rhys has just sent me some photos from our walk on Wednesday So, here’s a few more photos from the Carneddau.
I had a day’s annual leave on Wednesday so that Rhys and I could head into the hills of North Wales for a walk. It had been windy enough for windsurfing the day before and the wind showed no signs of easing today either, but that wasn’t about to stop us! Anna had taken a...
Autumn is here and I’ve just got back from a nice windsurf session courtesy of some autumnal winds. It’s definitely beginning to feel a little cooler out there and the conditions are feeling less like summer, despite the sunshine. The winds were dead Westerly. So, my initial plan had been to wait until around 1:30pm...
Well, it wasn’t the best of sessions on Tuesday afternoon, but the sun was shining, and it looked windy so I gave it a go. I started with my 5m sail and smaller wave board but there was nowhere near enough wind. I therefore rigged the 5.7m sail and larger freestyle wave board, but by...
Having been out of action for a week or so thanks to a cold that went to my chest, I was dying to get out in the fresh air doing something exciting. I went for a short run on Sunday that was slow and quite a struggle but it didn’t set me back at all...
I know some of you (you know who you are!) will ridicule me for this, but I came across a cool website the other day called lighterpack.com. It’s not that clever really, as all it does is allow you to create a list of items and their weights and it works out how much your...
I had another quick pop into the hills yesterday to try out some kit. It was only a short walk/run and not far from home. Having looked down on the Dyfi Valley from Tarren Hendre on Monday, I was again looking down on it, this time from the opposite side whilst on top of Foel...
