Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The sun was shining, Morgan was off school and I’d promised him we would get the canoe out and go to the beach. So, after a meeting in the morning that is exactly what we did. Slip, Slap Slop and we were ready to do battle with the sun and the waves. Our inflatable canoe that...
We’ve had plenty of chilli’s from the chilli plants this year!
I’ve been looking with envy at the various Park Runs around the country lately and had even thought about organising one myself in Aberystwyth but it looks as though someone else is about to do all of the hard work for me. There’s news about that someone is organising a Park Run. The Aberystwyth Athletics...
That didn’t take too long – I was half expecting this mornings moth count to be a long and difficult one but there were far fewer moths in the trap than I was expecting. Just 44 moths from 13 different species, with nothing new for us and nothing too difficult to ID either. Here’s the...
Although I can’t run at the moment and walking often end ups being hobbling, I can at least still ride my bike. So, yesterday with the sun shining, no wind, no work and Morgan off at Holiday Club I loaded up with drinks and gels and set off for a nice ride. I’d planned a...
My knee coped with the CRC MTB Marathon on Saturday so I was all geared up for the Vitus Sportive on Sunday. After a decent nights sleep in the tent we were up and eating breakfast under pretty ominous looking skies. It wasn’t raining in the campsite but there were dark low clouds surrounding us...
I went to see Kevin, the physio at Aberystwyth Physiotherapy & Sportscare Clinic yesterday to see what he had to say about my knee injury. Apparently I’ve probably damaged my medial collateral ligaments, but hopefully not too badly. He seems to think it could have been brought on by a combination of tight and possibly weak quads, a...
That was a lovely little swim from the estuary at Ynyslas, out around the point at warp speed thanks to some crazy currents and then out through the mouth of the estuary and around to the seafront where things slowed down thanks to a headwind and some waves to contend with. It made a change...
As promised, here’s some GoPro video footage from the CRC MTB Marathon event at Abergavenny that I rode at the weekend. And, although I didn’t have my GPS with me, here’s a GPS track of the route (as ridden by Jay).
Fortunately my knee issues didn’t seem to affect my cycling so I was able to complete the CRC MTB Marathon on Saturday and we had a good weekend camping in Abergavenny. We drove down on Friday immediately after work. We were meeting with Jay, Brad and Mel all of whom were also riding. Morgan was...
