Ynyslas Winter Sun
A photo from our beach photo walk earlier today, and probably my favourite, a lovely photo showing how nice Ynyslas can look even in February.

Beach Photo Walk
Morgan and I have just got back from a nice little photo walk along the beach. Nothing too exciting, just a little stroll to see how it was looking today. I’ll save the better photos for another post, but as per usual it was fairly breezy over there which just helped to highlight how much...
Patrol Leader Camp
Hooray, we survived the North Ceredigion Scouts Patrol Leader Camp! The Welsh weather did it’s best to defeat us, but failed. In fact we were lucky whilst setting up on Friday night as it wasn’t raining and we were treated to a glorious clear night with very little wind either. Saturday was quite wet all day mind...

Another Evacuation in Aberystwyth
No, we aren’t being evacuated again, not yet anyway, but the students are being evacuated from the seafront halls.

Triathlon Training Experiments
It’s a funny thing triathlon training – in some ways it’s a science, in others it’s an art, but whichever way you look at it, training for a triathlon is always a continually evolving experiment. Sometimes the experiment works, everything comes together just at the right time and you peak for the race of your...
A Pleasant Pheasant Present
Ha, try saying that lots of times: “A Pleasant Pheasant Present, A Pleasant Pheasant Present, A Pleasant Pheasant Present, ” We tired to sell a few jars of our limited supply of honey at the weekend. We had quite a few people say they wanted some and there was plenty of bartering going on. Shem wanted...
The busyness continues
Sorry for the lack of posts here recently, but I was busy working all week last week, invigilating exams at the university, so fitting that in with everything else didn’t leave much time for blogging. It also meant that we didn’t really do much other than the normal routine. A Week of Training Tired I did manage...
