“Don’t even think about going out on the sea tomorrow”
Expectations for Saturday 14th November have been high in the UK Windsurfing scene. The first major storm of the year and one that look set to produce some epic conditions. For me personally it was exciting too; for a change I would have some people to sail with as Steve, Simon and Jon had all...
A day in the Welsh Hills
We had a break in the ‘Wild West Wales Weather‘ yesterday so though it would be a good idea to get out there and make the most of it. I went for a quick mountain bike ride around the Summit Trail at Nant yr Arian. I’m still struggling a little on the hills but it...
What no Moths? Part 2
Last night was the first dry, windless night we’ve had for a while so I put the moth trap out to see what we could catch. We awoke this morning to the first frost of the winter and not a moth in sight. The first night since getting the moth trap that we’ve caught nothing....
Wild Winds of West Wales
And so the wind keeps blowing! It’s always windy here, but until the last week or so, the autumn had been fairly quiet. All that has changed now and autumn has shown its true colours. After a good windsurf session at the weekend, it has stayed windy all week so far. I was at work...
The Winds of Autumn

With gusts to 52.6 knots recorded on the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it looked as though it was going to be...
Back on Board

Sunshine at Last
Anyone for an Indian Summer??
BANG! Autumn’s here
I don’t know what happened to the summer, but autumn is here with a bang. Out of all the seasons it is the one that you really notice arrive. Spring creeps up slowly on us with new flowers and longer days, Summer never really arrives and Winter just seems to happen without really ever starting....
A Walk in the Dunes
I haven’t been out of the house for a week so as it was such a lovely day I just had to go for a nice easy walk in the dunes. I had Morgan with me so it was more of a tiny little stroll really, but I still managed to take a few photos....
