Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
After a nice paddle on the River Ystwyth on Friday I had a restful afternoon. Saturday, therefore, required some exercise. I started it with a bit of a slog on the Turbo Trainer. Nothing too crazy, just a gradual ramp up to close to 200W where I sat for 45 minutes or so. It may...
Yet another year older for me yesterday and we awoke to snow in Mid Wales. The first order of the day for me was a frosty run around Ynyslas. I had to take it easy on any stretches of tarmac as it was pretty slippery, but the frozen ground along the Leri was nice to...
After a day at work, it was such a lovely evening that I just couldn’t resist a nice easy jog through the dunes. So easy in fact that I even stopped to take some photos.
Following my recent scramble on Tryfan and Bristly Ridge I received a Facebook Comment from an old university friend saying: “Always wanted to do this route! Good to see you better.” Then, last week, Mike, that same university friend messaged me saying: “Heading to Tryfan / Bristley Ridge on the 10th Sept if you fancy...

After my run along the Coast Path from Freshwater West to Rhoscrowther we still had an afternoon to play with. So, after a shower at the cottage it was back into Angle to try out Cafe Mor that I had ran past earlier. Cafe Mor Their website says: Cafe Môr started life in our little...

Day 2 of our mini trip to Pembrokeshire. Pembroke After a relaxed breakfast at our Air BnB we headed into pembroke to explore the town. We wandered through the streets and around the Mill Pond which didn’t take long. It did allow me to tae some photos of the castle though. With plenty of time...
Anna and I have recently returend from a short break in Pembrokeshire. The main reason for it was so that I could continue some Coast Path run, but it was also a nice opportunity to get away for a few days for some sight-seeing, some relaxation and some good food. Morgan was obvously not interested...
