Surf
As well as the wind being good, the surf is going off too.

The Quest Continues
As mentioned before, things are looking goos as far as windsurfing goes this weekend and I’ve been hoping to have an attempt at my “Life Begins at 40 knots Quest“. The first of the winds arrived today but it wasn’t quite as good as hoped. I headed down to the estuary just after high tide,...
Excitement Mounts at Epic Wind Forecast
Things are looking pretty good wind-wise for the end of the week with some strong Easterly winds forecast. Friday looks OK, Saturday looks pretty windy, 30 knots or so which could be much more in the estuary here at Ynyslas and Sunday looks completely mad at the moment. It could finally be time to get...
A Dark, Cold, Wet, Muddy Night in the Hills
Autumn is definitely here and for the first time in ages we had a proper Ystwyth-MTB night ride. I haven’t been out on my Mountain Bike much lately because I cracked the frame and then had to rebuild it and then just haven’t had the chance. Dave has been out quite a bit on his...
Lake Bala Swim Report
I enjoyed my swim in Lake Bala yesterday for Diabetes UK Cymru. When I got up the weather looked perfect, sunny spells and no wind at all, but then I looked at the temperature and saw that it was at 2.6ºC – It’s getting chilly out there at night now. By the time we got...

Ynyslas in Summer
Thought I’d take a photo of the ‘hamlet’ that we live in whilst the sun was shining – Not a bad place to live is it! Whilst there I tried out the panoramic photo feature on my little Pentax Optio point and shoot too. Not bad seeing as all of the processing is done within...
The Perils of Weight Loss
I’ve actually lost a bit of weight recently. That’s not a bad thing as I approach the age of 40. A number of people have commented on the fact and my BMI is now well within the ‘Ideal Weight’ bracket. All of which is good and I’m fairly pleased with it. That was until this...
Borth and Ynyslas Perfection
As per usual, the children go back to school and the weather is gorgeous. According to the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it was the 2nd warmest day of the year, the warmest being back in May. Not only that but the surf was really good yesterday as well. It wasn’t huge but it was...
