Water-Based Fun in Aberdyfi
With no training to do on Sunday and decent weather forecast I planned to get out for some water-based fun in Aberdyfi. Some friends from Cerist Triathlon Club were meeting for an open water swim so I decided to join them. First task therefore was to get to Aberdyfi. The quickest and easiest way there...
Sunny Surf Ski Session
Having worked loads of extra hours last week, I was owed a bit of time. So, when the sun came out on Wednesday afternoon and the wind dropped off I couldn’t resist finishing work an hour early so that I could get out for a lovely relaxing surf ski paddle on the estuary. I met...
Spring Skies at Ynyslas
It was such a nice day yesterday but I was stuck at work. So, come the evening I couldn’t resist walking to Scouts rather than getting in the car. So, here’s a couple of photos from the beach last night. Lovely Spring Skies. Things weren’t looking too shabby in the garden at sunrise either – as...
Llyn Padarn Kayak Time Trial – Take 2
After my first attempt at a Kayak Time Trial a month ago, it was time for a second go. So, on Saturday morning I loaded my Surf Ski onto the camper and headed off to Llanberis and the dark waters of Llyn Padarn. The surf ski seemed more at home on top of the van...
Cregennan Lakes in the Campervan
With the campervan full of campervan essentials and the weekend looming it was time to try it out overnight. Morgan wanted to sleep in it on the drive but I had other ideas and fancied a night at Cregennan Lakes in the Campervan. I started Saturday morning early with some work and then fitted the...
Kayak Time Trial in Llyn Padarn
You know me, I always have a new project on the go! Recently I’ve patched up a very old surf ski that I have. I’ve been out for little jaunts on the estuary on it. The surf ski is old, it still takes on a little bit of water and its very unstable but I’ve been having...
Winter Speed Windsurf Session
Sorry for the lack of updates here lately but it’s just been the usual run of the mill stuff lately. Training, working, and running around as usual. We did spend a day at the weekend driving to Swansea and back to look at a van, but we didn’t like what we saw so didn’t buy it. Other...
Dyfi Estuary Adventure
As it was a ‘rest day’ on Saturday I decided to head out for a little Dyfi Estuary adventure on my Surf Ski. High tide was around 1:30pm at Ynyslas and therefore around 2pm 6 miles further upstream at Glandyfi. Winds were fairly light and mainly southerly and the sun was out. The weather looked...
Snow and Surf in West Wales
Snow and Surf in one day here in West Wales. I love it when that happens. I was a little surprised to see the snow this morning though as I made my way to Machynlleth for a morning run followed by a swim, and it was still there as I left to had back to...
