More Waves
And the waves keep coming. Nice clean foot swell today and barely any wind. So, after an amazing sunrise it was off to the beach with my Surf Ski for some fun in the water.

No Exercise for a Week
That has to be a record for me, no exercise for a whole week! OK, it probably isn’t a record as I’ve been injured or ill in the past and haven’t been able to exercise and I guess this was the same. I had a bit of a sore back last Saturday and it was worse after...
Welsh Cyclocross 2018 – Round 9 Talybont-on-Usk
After a week off due to a cancellation it was back to it at the weekend for more cyclocross racing. This time we were at Gilestone Farm in Talybont-on-Usk which was a new venue. I didn’t know what to expect from the course, but no doubt there would be plenty to test us. It was...
Chilly Waves
Brrrr, it feels as though winter is here. 4ºC pretty much all day long with a cold SE wind as well. There was snow on the hills when we got up and the sun didn’t ever get too high in the sky. I had a day off work thanks to a few hours annual leave that...
Swell Leftovers
Yep, only 36 days until we’ll be eating leftovers from Christmas, but the surf gods delivered early this year. After an epic weekend of surf and loads of energy from the forces of nature, things were a little calmer on Monday morning. A much lighter offshore wind and some leftover swell. There was just enough...
Mother Nature Showtime
Mother Nature is putting on quite a show again this morning. Big Surf, 50 knot winds and a glorious sunrise. I couldn’t resist a few more photos. This post is therefore nothing but a few nice photos of the sea and the beach here at Ynyslas.
An Energetic Day
What a day that was! Trail Running at Nant yr Arian A nice early start for me so that I could do a little bit of work before heading up to Nant yr Arian. I was there before 6:30am and headed off for a trail run. Needless to say that it was completely dark as...
Welsh Cyclocross 2018 – Round 8 Pembrey Poppy Cross
With only a few rounds left, it feels as though the Cyclocross season is hotting up and coming to an end at the same time. A couple of cancellations mean that this weekend’s race was the 7th scoring race out of 9 races with your best 6 results to count towards the series. This weekend...
Welsh Cyclocross 2018 – Round 7 Swansea
Another good Cyclocross Race, and this time I’m pleased to say that rather than saying my race report comes from somewhere in the middle of the pack, it’s actually coming from a little closer to the pointy end. Still not at the pointy end of course – far from it in fact, but it was...
Like the good old days!
Having had a bit of a return to form with some mountain bike downhill records in the morning, I thought that a windsurf was in order today as well. Just like the old days! The wind was howling, the seas were big and the air was a lot warmer than it had been. What else...
