It’s been a while since I’ve had a weekend that felt fairly packed with activities. It wasn’t quite up to my standards of old and it was all fairly chilled but it was still a good one. Anna probably got some peace and quiet too while I was out! Although the people I’d been out...
With wind forecast for Wednesday, I arranged my working week around having enough time to get out on the water. Steve was going to join me but I heard news last night that he’d fallen off his mountain bike and had broken his arm. I think he’s OK and will be back at it soon,...
I’m not quite brave enough to use my new Insta360 X3 camera whilst white-water kayaking yet. It doesn’t feel quite as robust as my old GoPro, it’s new, it’s expensive and the lenses look quite vulnerable. The main reason is the fact that I spend far too much time upside down, swimming and generally doing...
Seeing as my Insta360 camera mount didn’t quite work as hoped on my Surf Ski I wanted to try something different. Saturday dawned somewhat sunny with light winds and barely any surf. The perfect conditions to try something out! This time I thought I’d try wearing my Insta360 Back bar mount that worked so well...
After paddling on Friday and Sunday, it seemed silly not to have a quick one on Monday too. The weaves were mellow, there was the odd bit of sunshine and the winds were light. I wanted to try out my Insta360 camera on the surf ski. Unfortunately, the mount that I hoped would prove successful...
Before the offer to paddle the Ystwyth with Joe and Imi on Friday, I’d put my name down to help out in North Wales. Chris Brain, an instructor was assessing someone for a kayak leader qualification and needed some guinea pigs to be ‘led’. I seemed to fit the bill. I’m a relative newbie that...
Thanks to a busy week at work last week, I’d done all of my hours and more by Thursday evening, so had Friday to myself. Joe from the kayak club has posted to say he wanted to paddle the Ystwyth and asked if anyone wanted to join him. Imogen had said she’d go with him...
As you may have read from a previous blog post, I’ve signed up to do ‘The OMM’ later in the year. This could prove to be quite a challenge for me these days. I’m obviously never going to be as fit or fast as I used to be which won’t help. This is not only...
The wind was supposed to be blowing on Saturday, but the tides were high around midday which kind of made it difficult to get out on the seafront. As it happened there wasn’t much wind in the morning anyway so I jumped on my turbo trainer for a nice little sweet-spot ride instead. I say...
