Having recently completed a circumnavigation of Wales on foot I decided I needed a new project to have on the back-burner. When I first set out on my journey to conquer the Wales Coast Path, I was fit, relatively young, and had the luxury of dedicating a day each week to it. But as life...

Anna and I had a little trip to Bristol at the weekend. I was originally supposed to be heading to the south-west for work, but that was cancelled last thing. We had already arranged a family visit and some shopping around the work trip though so we decided to head that way anyway. We stopped...
Now that Morgan is home for a few months, we won’t be heading out to Canada to visit him. This means that we won’t be hiking along the Juan de Fuca Trail on Vancouver Island’s west coast either. A shame as I was looking forward to a few nights camping with the bears! It also...

Given my busy week at work, I decided to make the most of Friday by getting out and doing something active. A walk in the hills with an overnight camp sounded fun, but I didn’t want to drive too far. So, I checked out the local hills. Instead of revisiting familiar spots, I used SummitBag...
Starting off on Dylife Mountain Road, I soaked up the views from Foel Fadian. Camping by Llyn Bugeilyn after a day of lakes and peaks, misty nights and frosty mornings added to the adventure. It was a wild weekend to remember in the heart of Wales!
I haven’t been able to get out windsurfing for a while. Conditions and commitments just haven’t permitted any time on the water. I was therefore a little rusty whilst out for the first time in ages last weekend. The conditions were perfect with a decent Easterly howling down through the valley and a midday high...
